Twitter begins testing ‘CoTweets’ to allow users to co-author tweets

The social media giant confirmed that it is testing a new feature that allows users to co-authortweets. The company is testing the feature for a short time to learn how it will be used.

A person from the company said that they are exploring new ways for people to work on the site. We are testing CoTweets to learn how it can be used to grow and reach new audiences, and strengthen their collaborations with other accounts.

Users who have access to CoTweets are receiving a pop-up that invites them to join CoTweets. You can invite another account to send a message with your own. Both of you will be shown as co- authors if they accept. They will receive a request that they can either accept or decline, if they choose to. You can send invites to people that are following you. Only two authors can appear on a CoTweet at the same time, and only one can be invited per CoTweet.

If you accepted a CoTweet invitation and later changed your mind about co-authoring that CoTweet, you can revocation it. The CoTweet will be used by the original author.

It is clear that the company wants to see how people use the feature before they roll it out to everyone. At the end of the experiment, it is possible that the feature will be turned off and any CoTweets will be removed.

The CoTweets feature has been in the works for a while. The feature was dug up from the app's code by a mobile developer, who shared references he found that indicated a way for two people to become co-authors on a singletweet.

The new CoTweets addition is indicative of how the platform could be used in different ways beyond being a real-time news network. There is a new feature that could be useful for creators.

There are a number of other use cases for the co-Tweets feature. To promote work with multiple authors or creators, it could be used to put out combined statements from organizations. It can be used for fun by people who want to team up on the social networking site.
