Twitter started as a microblogging platform that allowed users to share their views in just 140 characters. The company’s owner Elon Muskhas now stated that the social media site will allow users to write a book on the platform. Twitter has recently changed the name of its Notes feature to Articles. The feature which is available under the Creator Studio tools, allows users to write longer-form content on the platform.Twitter owner ElonMusk has also shared a tweet to announce that Notes is getting a major overhaul which will be more than just being renamed to Articles. Musk added that Articles will eventually allow users to post “very long, complex articles with mixed media,” and users could even “publish a book if you want.”

The company hasn’t officially announced a release date for the new version of Articles. More details about how this feature will work will be known once it is live. Twitter has also started paying Twitter Blue creators a share of ad revenue. So, the company may integrate the same with longer-form content like articles.
How this feature can help Twitter
Twitter is working to bring long-form written content to the platform after shutting down its Substack rival, Revue. The updated version of the Twitter tool seems to revive Revue by adding features like mixing media into posts and closely integrating them into the platform.

With the new version of Articles, Musk might have plans to create a more closely integrated Substack competitor. News has been a major part of Twitter, however, users have to read the articles externally. These new changes will be able to help publications with a way to post news more directly inside the platform. This will help Twitter to integrate articles as aggregation services like

Apple News and Google News.
