Competition is heating up in the social media industry, and Twitter has found itself in the middle of a dynamic landscape with many competitors vying for users’ attention and engagement.
In a recent announcement, Twitter Inc confirmed that a change is imminent regarding the accessibility of TweetDeck. According to another reportsStarting 30 days later, TweetDeck will only be accessible to users who have a verified status on the platform.
TweetDeck has long been regarded as a useful resource for social media enthusiasts, professionals, and businesses. Its unique features, such as the ability to handle various feeds and searches, have made it the go-to platform for people looking for a more streamlined way to manage their Twitter activities.
TweetDeck version 2.0
Notably, TweetDeck 2.0 introduces several major features and changes to the popular social media management app.
While users can expect new features like video docking and an improved Tweet Composer functionality, one significant tweak is the temporary disabling of TweetDeck Teams. However, Twitter has reassured users that TweetDeck Teams will be reintroduced in the coming weeks.
The announcement comes just days after Elon Musk, the chairman of Twitter, made another significant change by limiting unverified users to only reading 1,000 posts per day. Since taking ownership of the company, Musk has maintained an active and vocal presence, and has implemented several changes aimed at improving the user experience and addressing long-standing issues plaguing the platform.
Twitter’s recent updates and changes continue to make waves in the social media landscape. In a recent development, verified users on Twitter, who subscribe to Twitter Blue or are considered “prominent,” have seen their daily posting limit increase.
Initially set at 6,000 posts, verified users can now read up to 10,000 posts per day, allowing for more extensive engagement with the platform. As of now, all users, regardless of their Twitter Blue status, can access the new version of TweetDeck. This means that there are no immediate restrictions on accessing TweetDeck for verified or unverified users.
The competition is heating up on Twitter
Competition is heating up in the social media industry, and Twitter has found itself in the middle of a dynamic landscape with many competitors vying for users’ attention and engagement.
One significant competitor Twitter faces is Facebook from Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META), which has a huge user base and a well-established ecosystem of platforms and services.
Facebook’s recent launch of a competing app called Themes adds another layer of competition to the mix. With its vast resources and user access, Facebook could pose a significant challenge to Twitter’s market position.
Other micro-blogging platforms have also emerged as formidable competitors in the social media space. After Musk’s announcement, Bluesky, a platform backed by Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, saw an increase in traffic. Users flocked to Bluesky, which generated “record traffic” the same day the announcement was made.
Another platform that has seen a significant increase in traffic is Mastodon, a decentralized social network. Mastodon CEO Eugene Roshko revealed that the platform saw its active user base increase by at least 110,000 on Sunday, July 2.
