Social Media: aTwitter to launch co-Fleets

Its interface to be tweaked, too

Twitter recently launched Fleets, its version of (Instagram) Stories.

The feature remains not unrolled in many countries. Even within the countries where Fleets has been unveiled, not all users have gotten it.

But, because it happens, Twitter seems to be taking Fleets to its next iteration, both in terms of usage and also interface (something which Twitter hardly dabbles in.)

It is apparently planning Collaborative Fleets.

According to a screenshot shared by a twitter user Amrith Shanbhag (@amrith), Twitter is planning to introduce collaborative fleets, or because the user put it, "co-fleets".

Under Collaborative Fleets, two merged Fleets would be available by two different users. A double bubble would seem to indicate that it's a Collaborate Fleet. Once you tap thereon, you’ll see what's inside.

In this way, users can post a conversation as a Fleet or share their thoughts on one subject. Users even have the choice to reply via DMs to those Fleets.

Instagram, of course, does have co-streaming, which produces an identical effect within the Stories bar.

Fleets are here to remain

There is little or no official information regarding Co-Fleets. But it's speculated that it might promote sharing stories, interviews, real-time events, conversation, gifs, and tons more.

However, SocialMediaToday has put out a press release from Twitter saying: "We are testing something new for a few people using Fleets in Brazil in order that they can Fleet with another account and everybody can see their conversation for twenty-four hours. We try this to know how people might use this new way of getting conversations in Fleets, as a part of our bigger efforts to raised serve the general public conversation and encourage people to share fleeting thoughts."

But that's not all. approximately it seems.
