Although Twitter tends to make headlines from time to timeand much more often, if we add those starred messages published on the social network, the truth is that in recent weeks we have experienced an overload of information about this service, so that there is practically no single day in which at least a new message is not in the service’s role. .

To a large extent, this was due Elon Musk has decided to take control of Twitter. First with the increase of its share, which would open the door to the board of directors of the social network, but later with the resignation of this appointment and the proposal to take full control of the company as a shareholder. A complicated operation, which, as we told you yesterday, can be very, very expensive for Elon Musk.

In the meantime, among all the news about Elon Musk’s move around Twitter, we also had some news about the service itselfwhich are, in the end, the ones that most interest the most. And in this regard, attention was focused on the long-awaited feature of editing previously published reports, which was first confirmed, then we learned that it would keep a history of the edits, and later we could see what it would look like.

And today, fortunately, we have news about the service itself, not about the OPA soap opera. Popular analyst Jane Manchun Wong, whom we can almost consider the oracle of this social network, published tweet in which claims and shows images that Twitter will work to implement the status featurewith which users could indicate their current mood what music they are listening to on their streaming service.

It’s the most striking, at least for those of us who have experienced the beginnings of Twitter. And precisely this, with the limitation of the characters that this social network had in its beginnings, added to the fact that it was not possible to include other types of elements such as images, videos, gifs, etc., that the system itself did not shorten URLs and that even retweet they forced us to reproduce the original message (thus reducing its characteristics compared to those we had replied to), for many users, Twitter was the social network of states.

It’s less common today, but it’s still common to see messages like “I’m eating chicken,” “I’m listening if you know your partner, Rosalía,” “I’m a little depressed today, send encouragement,” and more. With this new feature that we have been seeing on other social networks like Facebook for a long timea new way to share this information with our followers would be added without having to post tweets.

It is interesting to watch over time that the original premise of Twitter, which was to use the maximum capacity for synthesis, has faded over the years. Now, although character restrictions still exist, it’s twice as much as in its beginnings, and with a number of features added to include different types of content without penalizing the length of the text, complete with thread function, between Twitter posts and Facebook statuses. less and less differences.
