Twitter boss and serial tech entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed plans to phase out text threads on the social media platform with a soon-to-be-launched feature.
Musk, in a series of tweets on Sunday, November 5, announced that users will now be allowed to attach documents in the form of Twitter notes.
The notes will be added to the list of attachments one can add to a tweet which includes images, videos, polls and clips in a graphics interchange format (gifs).
"Twitter will soon add the ability to attach long-form text to tweets, ending the absurdity of notepad screenshots, followed by creator monetization for all forms of content," Musk wrote.
The world's richest person explained that content creators will be able to earn from such content and users will not only be able to subscribe but also contribute to the notes.
Currently, the user interface only allows a maximum of 280 characters for every tweet including spaces between words and punctuation marks.
This forces users with lengthy word content to create a thread of tweets by replying to an initial tweet and labelling them in the format n/x where n is the number of the tweet and x is the total number of tweets.
Furthermore, Musk revealed that he would make adjustments to the search bar which he claimed was outdated, and compared it to the 1998 Infoseek search engine.
The announcement came days after he declared that users with verified accounts will be charged to maintain their badges.
While the payment was initially for those who subscribed to Twitter Blue, he gave the users 90 days to pay a Ksh2,500 monthly fee.
The amount was revised downwards to Ksh970 (USD8). Among the special benefits tied include posting long videos and audio files; priorities in replies, mentions and searches; fewer advertisements and access to news articles and blog posts.
