Kayvon Beykpour / @kayvz : Fleets are a way to share fleeting thoughts. Unlike Tweets, Fleets disappear after 24 hours and don't get Retweets, Likes, or public replies— people can only react to your Fleets with DMs. Instead of showing up in people's timelines, Fleets are viewed by tapping on your avatar. https://twitter.com/... Kayvon Beykpour / @kayvz : Every day, people come to Twitter to see what's happening. One of the unique things about Twitter is that “what's happening” is fueled by people sharing their thoughts openly, through Tweets. But sharing your thoughts publicly can be intimidating! 🧵 Kayvon Beykpour / @kayvz : We've been listening to this feedback and working to create new capabilities that address some of the anxieties that hold people back from talking on Twitter. Today, in Brazil only, we're starting a test (on Android and iOS) for one of those new capabilities. It's called Fleets. https://twitter.com/... @twittercomms : yes we know what fleets means. thanks - gay intern Casey Newton / @caseynewton : Y'all there's a new kind of tweet and it's called a FLEET (!!!!!!!)

Stacy-Marie Ishmael / @s_m_i : A thing about this thread is it doesn't address that one of the things that made likes (for example) hypervisible was Twitter's decision to inject more and more “private” interactions into timelines, and to use Moments to give attention to people with no good way to opt-out. https://twitter.com/... Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : Twitter Stories. They're here.

I expect it will — Twitter employees are testing it internally Gin / @showupforthis : Temporary posts that can't be publicly responded to and automatically delete after 24 hours?

Chris Lacy / @chrismlacy : Great to see Twitter adding Fleets (aka Stories). Impossible not to also point out this feature is just starting to be tested 3 years after Instagram pulled it from Snapchat. Twitter is not the fast moving, mobile focused company it ought to be. https://techcrunch.com/... Alex Heath / @alexeheath : Twitter starts publicly testing its version of Stories—an idea that has been belabored internally for a long time—less than a week after it was revealed that an activist is looking to oust the CEO over business concerns and stagnant product development https://techcrunch.com/...

Stefan Tanase / @stefant : Precisely what the iOS ecosystem was missing 👌🏽 https://twitter.com/... Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : Only reason Apple is conceding to allow developers to now spam us with ads in push notifications is because their hypocrisy in doing so with their own notifications was called out. Ideally they should stop with the upsells versus letting apps do it too. https://www.theverge.com/... Chase Dardaman / @charlesdardaman : If an app pushed an ad to me I will delete the whole app https://twitter.com/... Brian Lovin / @brian_lovin : These are supposed to be opt-in under the new rules - we'll see about that. Looking at @lyft as one of the more annoying culprits of spamming ads in pushes, which are opt-out by design. https://twitter.com/... Hern / @alexhern : Depressing that, after years of enforcing a consumer-friendly policy against everyone but itself, Apple chose to scrap the policy rather than apply it consistently. Expecting more of that. https://twitter.com/... CoolStar / @cstar_ow : Can we have Windows Phone back now https://twitter.com/... Callum Jones / @icj_ : Following comments that Apple ignores their own rules, they made the one decision nobody wanted here. Impressive. https://twitter.com/...

Paul Spencer / @wronglebowsk : @Techmeme @filipeesposito One of the reasons I moved to iOS was the lack of garbage notifications.

Ben Sandofsky / @sandofsky : Glass half empty: You can now show ads in push notifications. Glass half full: Companies have been sending ads in push notifications for a long time. I don't see why Apple would suddenly change the rules unless they were getting ready to enforce them. https://twitter.com/... Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp : It's opt-in.
