Twitter is testing a new feature allowing the users to write and share 'Notes''. Similar to the name, the users can write Notes with an in-built tool to help users share longer posts up to 2,500 words. Well, the social media platform usually limits the posts to 280 characters. But Twitter has come up with this new move as a response to check whether people use the platform to post pictures of longer news and steer the followers to the outside newsletter. The new feature aims to keep audiences in the Twitter eco-system where the readers can see a headline and access the longer note by clicking on a link.

The advantage of the new feature is that the users can directly jot down notes, add media files and tweets, and they could even use bold/italic texts. Twitter said that currently, it is testing the Notes tool with a 'small group of writers' which will be running for the next two months in Canada, Ghana, the UK, and the US.

The company has said something through the tweet, 'They [Notes] can also be read on and off Twitter, by people in most countries.'

Once the feature is out for use, the users will see a dedicated 'write' option on the left panel of the web platform. But it is still unclear whether Notes will roll out on the Twitter app for Android and iOS in the initial phase. As soon as we click on the 'write' tap, the users are redirected to a new page where they are supposed to give a headline and cover images. Following that, users can start with the new feature 'Notes.' After the users publish Notes, it will appear on Twitter as a clickable card. While clicking on the image or the link, the users would read the full text. Well, users would be able to edit their notes after they get published.

As mentioned, Twitter Notes will provide a unique URL, which could be shared with other users even if they do not have an account.

Meanwhile, Twitter is witnessing the testing of a new feature that would help users purchase merchandise directly from the platform. Within the partnership with Shopify, the platform will let merchants list their products on their Twitter Professional Profiles. Twitter initially announced its Shop Spotlight (originally named the 'Shop Module') last July, adding to its Professional Profile tools. During the initial phase, the newest feature would likely debut in the selected markets.
