Now you can bookmark tweets with Twitter's new feature
Twitter launched a new update called Bookmarks which allows users to save tweets in private
(Web Desk) – Twitter has launched a new update called Bookmarks which allows users to save tweets in private for later use.
The Twitter Bookmark remained in testing phase last year, but will now cater the desire of Twitter users to save content for later reading.
Since there is so much news circulating on the micro-blogging site, Twitter’s Bookmarks will let people save tweets with links to articles and blogs, or media. Twitterati can simply save these tweets when they don’t have time to read or watch the stuff posted by their favourite people.
There is already a heart-shaped button to like a certain tweet, some users complain that it uncomfortable to use the ‘Favorite’ button for saving tweets because it indicates a response of positive sentiment for the tweet even when the content is otherwise.
Bookmarks can be put into use by choosing a tweet, clicking “share” icon and selecting “Add Tweet to Bookmarks”. These tweets are saved for later in “Bookmarks” added in Profile icon menu, below Lists.
To use the feature, one only has to update Twitter for iOS and Android, or Twitter Lite.
People may prefer to bookmark tweets as it saves them privately which is contrary to the Favourite option where followers are shown the response as the action is made public.
