Twitter to add new features for improved conversations, more monetisation opportunities for creators

New Delhi: Twitter on Thursday announced a slew of new features that are being rolled out, including updates to Spaces and global expansion of Tips, as the microblogging platform aims to improve conversations, support more monetisation avenues for users and provide them with a safe experience. Twitter Head of Consumer Product Kayvon Beykpour said the platform can be the conversational layer of the internet, and can lead everyone to greater opportunities to speak freely which is core to an open society.

Public conversation is better when as many people as possible can participate in the ways that they want to, whether that is with Tweets, images, their voice or longform content, he said in a virtual briefing.

“A lot of people on Twitter have built significant followings, and we see a huge opportunity to provide these people an outlet to earn additional income, directly from the people who appreciate and value their content the most. We believe this also can serve as a powerful, economic incentive to increase healthy discourse on the platform,” Beykpour said.
