Twitter Fleets: What is it, how it works and who all shall get it
Twitter introduced
on June 9 a feature named Fleets for Android and iOS platforms. Inspired by the
Stories feature on Instagram and Facebook, Fleets is a quick way to express
thoughts using multimedia or text. Thoughts shared on Fleets disappear
automatically after 24 hours.
Let’s look at what Fleets offer,
how it works and who all shall get it:
Twitter Fleets: Story-ies behind it
Twitter is
about people posting their views, engaging with others by commenting on a post,
'liking’ it or showing support by retweeting a post. Twitter is public by
design, but some users may not feel comfortable with that because their tweets
anybody can see and reply them.
To
enable people to express their thoughts without the anxiety of how others would
take it, Twitter introduced Fleets on March 4 in Brazil. The Fleets feature
seems inspired by Stories feature on Instagram and Facebook. It allows people
to share thoughts in the form of text, multimedia and multimedia with text on
it. Though the Fleets are visible to everyone, it disappears after 24 hours and
do not get retweets, likes, or public replies -- people can only react to your
Fleets with direct messages. Moreover, instead of showing up in people’s
timelines, Fleets are viewed by tapping on your avatar.
