I was going to write something about it being interesting that Twitter was testing an 'Articles' feature which, if suspicions are correct, might let users write long form pieces. Then I remembered that I don't actually care. There is no way I'll be returning to the service so what it do... colinwalker.blog

@pimoore @colinwalker it’s a good feature for people who cross post to twitter

@pimoore they’d be really dumb if they didn’t have API support for it

@Gaby Better than talking about US politics

@hjertnes true, true true

@hjertnes I really can’t see them opening this up.

@pimoore that’s kind of what companies should do. I think a lot of stuff is easier to navigate, deal with and understand when you accept that companies exist to make a profit.

@colinwalker Why?

@hjertnes I just feels like an exclusive feature designed to suck you in and force you on to the platform. I could be wrong.

@colinwalker It might be exclusive to their native apps to see them, but I think it is in their interest to get as many people as possible to push their content into it, so that people read the articles on twitter instead of clicking a link in the tweet
