Depending on their interests, users will receive a stream of videos, both longer-form and shorter-form videos.

New Feature on Elon Musk’s X: Reels

By gathering user-generated and shared video material under one tab, the service seeks to spotlight it.

Later this summer, a beta version is anticipated to be accessible to a limited number of users.

Since acquiring Vine in October 2022, Elon Musk has expressed a desire to release an enhanced version of the social media network.

When Musk polled his fans in April about whether to revive Vine, almost 70% said “yes.” The “cool video experience” of Vine is what the new video platform seeks to recreate.

Twitter is set to implement a major change to the way news articles are presented on the platform.

As reported by Fortune, the proposed change would remove headlines and accompanying text from tweets that contain links, leaving only the lead image to capture users’ attention. The Twitter Card will no longer pull metadata from URLs—like headlines from news stories—leaving it up to the poster to create engaging content.

While Bluesky sees an average of 8,300 first-time installs per day, Twitter adds a staggering…

According to him, users with “verified” accounts can temporarily only read a maximum of 6,000 posts per day. For those with unverified accounts, there are only up to 600 posts per day. New unverified accounts therefore only have access to a maximum of 300 posts.

“Temporary Emergency Measure”

The new restriction caused displeasure among many users because they could no longer access the content shared on the platform as usual. The hashtag #RIPTwitter, which can be translated as “rest in peace, Twitter”, spread…
