Twitter may have been a simple micro-blogging site back when it was founded in 2006, but the social media platform now offers many features that entrepreneurs and content creators alike can leverage for their businesses. Tons of brands have found major success on the site as it offers convenient ways to stay connected with your followers.<\/p>\n

A lot of changes have been happening at Twitter recently, but here\u2019s a handy guide covering all of the latest features and how you can best use the site for your small business.<\/p>\n

What you need to know about Twitter\u2019s Latest Features<\/h2>\n

While Fleets<\/a> may be a thing of the past, Twitter still offers several useful features to help content creators make the most out of the website. Here are all of them and how you can use them to grow your online brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Twitter Blue<\/h3>\n

Things with Twitter Blue are evolving quickly. Keep up with the latest updates on the feature here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Twitter Blue originally launched back in 2021 to certain regions for testing, including the U.S, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. The initial subscription allowed users a grace period of 30 seconds to undo tweets, provided them with bookmark folders to organize their saved tweets, and included a reader mode that made viewing tweets easier.<\/p>\n

The bookmarks folder, in particular, is a great way to organize a variety of tweets. For example, you can create one bookmark folder for tweets that inspire you, and another for tweets from your followers.<\/p>\n

Twitter is in the process of revamping this feature. The new Twitter Blue is advertised by the platform as a \u201cpremium subscription service that elevates quality conversations on Twitter.\u201d Users will have to pay $7.99 to unlock the previous features, along with new ones. While it seems like the current Twitter Blue is on pause for now<\/a>, Twitter has already advertised several new features Twitter Blue will include.<\/p>\n

Edit Tweets<\/strong><\/p>\n

After many pleas from users, Twitter finally launched an editing feature in 2022. As of now, the feature is only available to Twitter Blue users. The edit button allows a user to edit a tweet up to five times within a 30-minute time-frame. For security reasons, viewers will be able to see the edit history and the original tweet.<\/p>\n

The ability to edit your tweets will reduce any typos or mistakes in your content that come from sending out tweets on the fly, making it easier for you followers to read.<\/p>\n

Instead of sending tweets out on the fly, we recommend scheduling them in advance with Buffer. Sign up for free here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Verification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previously, blue check marks were only available to authorized accounts of notable figures, including celebrities, brands, reporters, and academics, to name a few. These individuals were given a blue checkmark after being independently reviewed by Twitter.<\/p>\n

While the above conditions still stand, Twitter Blue users will now also receive the blue checkmark. In order to limit the amount of impersonations<\/a> on the platform, Twitter Blue users will not be able to change their names after they receive a blue checkmark.<\/p>\n

In addition, Twitter is advertising a few other features that will soon be available, including the ability for Twitter Blue users to see 50 percent fewer adds, have their tweets prioritized, and post longer videos. <\/p>\n

Twitter Circles<\/h3>\n

Ever wanted to tweet something to only a portion of your Twitter followers? Twitter Circles <\/a>makes that possible. This feature is similar to Instagram\u2019s Close Friends<\/a> and allows you to add up to 150 people into your Twitter Circle and tweet out exclusive content just for them. To be clear, you can only create one Twitter Circle from your account.<\/p>\n

Once you set up your circle, you will have the option to send out tweets to your general audience or your Twitter Circle. You\u2019ll be able to identify Tweets sent to your circle as they will include a green badge under them.<\/p>\n

While there is some overlap between Twitter Circles and Twitter Subscriptions, there is one big difference. Your Twitter Subscribers will have to pay to access exclusive content, whereas being added into someone\u2019s Twitter Circle is free.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few ways you can use Twitter Circles for your small business:<\/p>\n
