Fleets: a new way to join the Twitter conversation
You know that thing you didn’t Tweet… but wanted to… but didn’t… but got so close… but then were like… nah.
Twitter has a place for that now—Fleets!
"Fleets are for sharing momentary thoughts – they help start conversations and only stick around for 24 hours. Through our tests in Brazil, Italy, India, and South Korea, we learned Fleets helped people feel more comfortable joining the conversation – we saw people with Fleets talk more on Twitter. Those new to Twitter found Fleets to be an easier way to share what's on their mind. Because they disappear from view after a day, Fleets helped people feel more comfortable sharing personal and casual thoughts, opinions, and feelings."
