That they decided to become an instance of Facebook on Twitter, I think I already commented on that, right? Yes, that’s right, it was just yesterday when we heard that the social network was testing a new status feature linked to tweets, which is just the latest in an endless list of experiments launched Twitter within the past year. A string of tests that, while in some cases very interesting, in others seem to be just a cry for attention or perhaps a need to prove that they want to innovate. And yes, it’s true that Twitter hasn’t released new features for years, but it’s no less true that they haven’t been necessary for a significant portion of its users.
These changes, this sum of features, lead us to what I mentioned at the beginning, the transmutation of Twitter into Facebook, and as I said yesterday, it is neither a good nor a bad thing, this consideration must be made individually for each user of the service. Personally, I think giving up your identity, your most defining feature, which is exactly what has attracted most of your users over the years, is a reckless move.
Be that as it may, adding new features continues as we can see tweet by Manuel Bartual, in which he reiterates that it is now possible to add multiple animated gifs to a single message
If you pull the thread a bit (a semi-apocryphal reference to Bartual’s more than popular Twitter threads), we’ve verified that the test is broader, allowing multiple images, animated gifs, and videos to be included in a single tweet. The maximum number of these elements that can be included in each message is not clear, but considering the test published by Bartual, we see that the mole will have at least four elements.
“For a limited time, we’re testing a new feature with select accounts that will allow people to mix up to four media assets in one tweet, regardless of format. We see people on Twitter having more visual conversations and using images. , GIFS and videos to make those conversations even more exciting. With this test, we hope to find out how people combine these different media formats to express themselves more creatively on Twitter beyond 280 characters.the company said in a statement.
