Twitter\u2019s Blue subscription service got some new features heading into the holidays. Per an update to the list of features on the Blue about page<\/a>, the service now gives subscribers \u201cprioritized rankings in conversations\u201d and the ability to upload hour-long videos.<\/p>\n

Twitter owner Elon Musk has long promised these features, with priority in replies dating back to November. Musk also promised priority in search and mentions, but it appears Twitter still needs to add that (at least, it doesn\u2019t mention it on the Blue page).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not entirely clear how the prioritization feature works. The Verge<\/em><\/a> suggests Twitter will now factor in whether an account subscribes to Blue when ordering replies to a tweet. Twitter previously said the feature was intended to help \u201clower the visibility of scams, spam and bots<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, that doesn\u2019t consider that scammers, spammers, and other bad actors can now pay for Blue to boost the visibility of their replies.<\/p>\n

As for the video features, Blue subscribers can now upload videos up to 60 minutes long with up to a 2GB file size and 1080p resolution. However, the feature is only available via the web. Moreover, a Twitter support page warns<\/a> that the platform may modify \u201cthe resolution and bitrate of the original video while streaming based on the speed and stability of the viewer\u2019s internet connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The changes come after Twitter added view counts to tweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the relaunch, Twitter Blue\u2019s price increased to $10\/mo for Canadians who subscribe through the website and $15\/mo for Canadians who subscribe through iOS. Learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
