Twitter Subscribers to Gain Exclusive Access to TweetDeck
In a recent announcement, Twitter Inc confirmed that a change is forthcoming regarding the accessibility of TweetDeck. According to recent reports, starting in 30 days, TweetDeck will only be accessible to users who have obtained verified status on the platform.
TweetDeck has long been regarded as a helpful resource for social media enthusiasts, professionals, and corporations. Its unique features, such as the ability to handle various feeds and searches, have made it a go-to platform for people looking for a more simplified way to manage their Twitter activities.
The Release of TweetDeck 2.0
Notably, TweetDeck 2.0 introduces numerous major features and changes to the popular social media management application.
While users can expect new features such as video docking and enhanced Tweet composer functionality, one significant adjustment is the temporary disabling of TweetDeck Teams. However, Twitter has reassured users that TweetDeck Teams will be reintroduced in the coming weeks.
This announcement comes just days after Elon Musk, Twitter’s Chairman made another significant change by limiting unverified users to reading only 1000 posts per day. Since assuming ownership of the company, Musk has maintained an active and vocal presence, implementing various changes aimed at improving user experience and tackling longstanding issues plaguing the platform.
Twitter’s recent updates and changes continue to make waves in the social media landscape. In a recent development, verified users on Twitter, who have either subscribed to Twitter Blue or are considered “notable,” have seen an increase in their daily post limit.
Initially set at 6,000 posts, verified users can now read up to 10,000 posts per day, allowing for a more extensive engagement with the platform. As of now, all users, regardless of their Twitter Blue status, are able to access the new version of TweetDeck. This means that there is no immediate restriction on accessing TweetDeck for verified or unverified users.
Competition Heats Up for Twitter
The competition in the social media industry is heating up, and Twitter is finding itself in the midst of a dynamic landscape with various rivals vying for user attention and engagement.
One of the significant competitors that Twitter faces is Facebook from Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META), which has a massive user base and an established ecosystem of platforms and services.
Facebook’s recent launch of a rival app dubbed Threads adds another layer of competition to the mix. With its extensive resources and user reach, Facebook has the potential to pose a significant challenge to Twitter’s market position.
Other microblogging platforms have also emerged as formidable contenders in the social media space. Following Musk’s announcement, Bluesky, a platform backed by Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, experienced a surge in traffic. Users flocked to Bluesky, leading to “record-high traffic” on the same day the announcement was made.
Another platform that witnessed a significant increase in traffic is Mastodon, a decentralized social network. Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon revealed that the platform experienced a surge in its active user base by at least 110,000 on Sunday, July 2.
