Twitter Circle: This feature lets you handpick an audience for your tweets
Twitter is
testing a new feature called 'Twitter Circle' where
users can handpick a smaller crowd of 150 people with whom they want to share
their tweets.
The new Twitter feature seems
to be on a similar line to Instagram's Close Friends feature, which allows
selecting the audience for their stories.
Announcing the feature on Tuesday, Twitter said, "Some Tweets
are for everyone and others are just for people you've picked."
"We're now testing Twitter Circle, which lets you add up to
150 people who can see your Tweets when you want to share with a smaller crowd.
Some of you can create your own Twitter Circle beginning today!," Twitter
Safety tweeted.
Since the microblogging social media platform
says that for now the new feature will be appearing for "Some of
you", so if you have it, then here is how it works:
First, you will choose upto 150 people irrespective of whether you
follow them or not. Then while twitting anything selects the option 'Twitter
Circle' to limit your tweet to only those people you have selected.
"The users can edit the list of people that they have
selected in 'Twitter Circle' anytime they want. Also, people will not be
notified if you remove them," said the company.
Twitteratis who were able to access the feature have started
sharing their feedback.
"At first I didn't understand this, but this is actually a
pretty cool feature, and I've felt the need for something like this
lately," tweeted a user.
Meanwhile, some have picked up on the announcement while sharing
funny takes on it.
