Twitter Provides Services For Writers

Twitter (TheVerge)

Twitter issued its official announcement regarding the acquisition of the Dutch bulletin platform, Revue. This platform is predicted to be Twitter's first step in accommodating writers.

They can share long posts in the form of ideas and their respective written works so that they can create conversation interest for Twitter users.

Mike Park as Vice President of Publisher Twitter and Keyvoun Beykpour as head of the product department, said that currently, the platform has become the choice for writers, journalists, content creators, and even publishers.

"These long-form content creators are a valuable part of Twitter, it is very important for us to offer new ways for them to create and share content," Beykpour and Park said in a post on Twitter's official blog page.

With this acquisition, it is hoped that writers can grow and be able to gain good relations with readers of their works. The plan is that Beykpour and Park will present a “pro” feature in the Revue platform for free for all accounts.

For additional information, Revue provides a choice of free and paid newsletters. In the free option, writers can send newsletters to a variety of readers with up to 50 people. Unlike the paid version, content creators can distribute newsletters up to 40 thousand people.

Twitter wants content creators to make a living from audience-based monetization. Later, Revue will continue to stand alone.

"We will continue to invest in Revue as a standalone service. His team (Revue) will continue to focus on improving writers to make newsletters, build an audience, and get paid for their work,” Park said as quoted by Axios, Wednesday, January 27.

Twitter's acquisition of Revue is the most aggressive move that Twitter has ever taken in supporting long content on its platform.
