Twitter Testing Notes, a Long-Form Content Feature

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Search Engine Land: Twitter is testing a new feature that would eliminate the constraints of its 280-character tweet limit and allow users to publish long-form tweets. Twitter confirmed the test via a tweet. When this will become available to all Twitter users? It's unclear. Twitter noted: "We're excited for the moment when everyone can use Notes, but for now, our focus is on building it right. A large part of that is engaging with writers and building community." For now, Twitter plans to test it over the next two months with a small group of writers from Canada, Ghana, the UK and the U.S. In Twitter Notes, it looks like you will be able to add: - Formatting: Bold, italic and strikethrough text; insert ordered/unordered lists; add links. - Media: You can add one GIF, one video, or up to four images. - Tweets: You can either embed tweets by pasting URLs or from bookmarked tweets. Notes also has a "Focus mode," that makes the article composer full-screen.
