Elon Musk has completed his takeover of Twitter, and he has lofty plans for this platform. In the short time, he has been at the helm of the platform he has promised things like a new verification system, revamped subscription program, and better creator monetization.

Musk has a knack for announcing these features on a whim through Twitter. But it’s hard to know in what form and when they would make their way to the public release. So here is a handy list of things Musk has announced that’s coming to Twitter:

After taking over Twitter, the first product change Musk announced was revamping the verification system. Days later, he posted more details that included new features for Twitter Blue paid plan. Musk said the new system will cost $8 per month and have fewer ads, priority in replies (something which verified handles get through the “Verified” notification channel), mentions and search, and the ability to post longer videos.

At this moment, paid users can post 10-minute long videos and other users have a time limit of two minutes and 20 seconds on videos. The company has already been experimenting with things like moving the verified notification tab to appear as the default screen in the notification screen.

While the new Twitter Blue plan will cost $8 in the U.S., Musk has said that he will adjust the pricing for different regions according to purchasing power parity. In a reply to a user, he also said that revamped subscription will roll out to India by the end of the month. This means Twitter will soon expand Twitter Blue beyond existing markets — the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and Australia. click here...

Musk has already got the Twitter Blue team working on a better video experience, too. He said that with the new paid plan, users will be able to upload 42 minutes of video at 1080p resolution. The Tesla CEO said that the platform is working on removing the 42-minute limit as well.

The new Twitter CEO said that the company is working on attaching long text to the tweet. This announcement is strange as the platform debuted Notes, its program for long-form content, in June. Under this test, a set of writers from the U.S., Canada, Ghana, and the UK got access to tools to write long posts. A Twitter employee, who was part of a mass layoff at the company, pointed out that Musk fired the team who built and shipped the Notes feature.

Earlier this month, Twitter ended its partnerships with publishers to provide an ad-free experience for Twitter Blue subscribers. And within hours after emails went to these publishers, Musk said that he wants to build a “paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us.”

Investor Jason Calacanis, who is part of Musk’s core team, said that the Twitter team is focused on working with TweetDeck and might deliver a new product by the end of the month. The above-mentioned former Tweep noted that the mass layoffs have also affected the TweetDeck team. So it might be tough to ship a finished product so soon.

While Twitter’s new verification is all about giving “power to people,” Musk specified that there will be a secondary tag on the profile to identify public figures like politicians. App researcher Nima Owji posted a preview of this badge earlier this month. Visit Now...
