Twitter said Thursday it has begun actively testing an edit button aftermonths of publicly discussing such a tweak.
The trial of “Edit Tweet” will begin with internal employees, then beexpanded out to the platform’s “Twitter Blue” subscription population, thecompany said.
“Edit Tweet is a feature that lets people make changes to their Tweet afterit’s been published,” the company said on its blog. “Think of it as a shortperiod of time to do things like fix typos, add missed tags, and more.”
Under the revision being studied, users could editlink a tweet “a few times” in the 30 minutesafter the initial posting, in ways that transparently note the changes to”help protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publiclyaccessible record of what was said,” the company said.
