Twitter Starts Testing Its Own Version of Stories Called Fleet

https://techcrunch.com

Twitter is testing its own version of Stories. The company announced today it will begin to trial a new sharing format called “Fleets,” starting in Brazil, which will let users post ephemeral content to its social network for the first time.

Key points:

  • Unlike Tweets, Twitter’s new Fleets can’t receive Likes, Replies or Retweets. And they’ll disappear entirely after 24 hours.
  • But their Fleet won’t circulate Twitter’s network, show up in Search or Moments, and it can’t be embedded on an external website.
  • At launch, consumers will be able to post videos up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds in length (or 512MB). Whitelisted publishers will be able to publish videos up to 10 minutes in length.
  • Users can also post multiple Fleets, which viewers will move through using gestures.
  • Only in Brazil, for now. The test will run for a few months before Twitter decides to roll out it out to other global markets.
