Earlier this month, Twitter revealed that some paid subscriptions services are in the works. If Twitter users pay for subscription then they may get some premium features. Now it has been reported that one such feature will allow users to ‘undo’ their tweets.
According to security researcher Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is working on app subscription for paid features like “Undo Tweet”. Wong put out a tweet regarding this.

The feature was then confirmed by Twitter to CNet. Wong meanwhile also showed briefly how the feature might work. The undo tweet feature is different from delete tweet. Undo will stop the tweet being sent out at all. It will also have a timer — in form of a progress bar — indicating to users how much time they have before they can undo the tweet. It’s not clear how much users will have to pay for this feature or will it be clubbed with other features for which users subscribe.
Twitter has revealed features called Super Follows and Communities, during a presentation for analysts and investors, claims a report by The Verge.
Starting with the Super Follows first, this feature will allow Twitter users to charge followers for access to exclusive content. “That could be bonus tweets, access to a community group, subscription to a newsletter, or a badge indicating your support” added the report.
As per the screenshot shared, Twitter showed an example where a user was charged $4.99 per month to receive a series of perks.
The second feature, called Communities, is a direct rival to Facebook Groups. These are aimed to connect people sharing similar interests.

NEW DELHI: “just setting up my twttr” – the first ever tweet on the platform is up for sale after Twitter boss Jack Dorsey listed his famous post as a unique digital signature on a website for selling tweets as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The post, sent from Dorsey’s account in March of 2006, received offers on Friday that went as high as $88,888.88 within minutes of the Twitter co-founder tweeting a link to the listing on ‘Valuables by Cent’ – a tweets marketplace.
Old offers for the tweet suggest that it was put for sale in December, but the listing gained more attention after Dorsey’s tweet on Friday.
NFTs are digital files that serve as digital signatures to certify who owns photos, videos and other online media.
Dorsey’s 15-year old tweet is one of the most famous tweets ever on the platform and could attract bidders to pay a high price for the digital memorabilia.
Launched three months ago, Valuables compares the buying of tweets with buying an autographed baseball card. “There is only one unique signed version of the tweet, and if the creator agrees to sell, you can own it forever.”
A tweet’s buyer will get an autographed digital certificate, signed using cryptography, that will include metadata of the original tweet, according to the Valuables website. The tweet will continue to be available on the Twitter website.
