Twitter
is now upgrading their services, finally, as promised as per their article “How
your Twitter feed will change in coming months”, published November 12,
2014 5:29 PM PST by Michelle Meyersm, CNET News!
Their
last upgrade, where they became more like Facebook back in April 2014 was so
lacklustre and lacking in imagination that I did an article focusing on how to
steal twitter photos as explained in my blog article
entitled “How
to Download Twitter user Pictures as Twitter makes Facebook Timeline changes”.

This
time they've decided to on a real upgrade; a new Twitter App introducing Group
Messages and 30 second videos as reported in the article “Twitter
launches group messages, 30-second video sharing”, published January 27,
2015 5:35 AM PST by Ian Sherr, CNET News!
Honestly,
I haven't tried them, but I can tell you I prefer Tweetdeck more than Twitter itself,
then good News, this feature is coming on Tweetdeck as well as per the article “Now on
TweetDeck: group Direct Messages” published Tuesday, January 27, 2015 By
Amy Zima, Product Manager, TweetDeck Blog!
So
what are these services like? Stellar on Tweetdeck!
Twitter rolls out Group
DM and 30 second Vines – Tweetdeck integration shot, albeit I really expected
more from Twitter
The
30 second videos within twitter are a no-brainer; it’s just Vine with longer
videos. Apparently 4 seconds enough time to really tell a story. Like Duh!
But
the Group DM is like dope, y'all, especially on Tweetdeck! Note: I don't take coke or
anything, just that if done right, it can be as addictive as the White Lady!
In
essence, you can now send a DM to a group of people instead of just one person
on Twitter as well as in Tweetdeck!
Great, just what I needed, more DM (Direct Messaging) to complicate my life
along with Facebook Messenger, which already does a great job as a Standalone
Messenger.
Still,
I’m disappointed!
I
was hoping for something like a Twitter Groups App similar to Facebook's Group
App introduced in November 2014 as per my blog article
entitled “Introducing
Facebook Groups App – How to connect to your Facebook Groups on your Smartphone
or Tablet”
Even
a 90's style secret chartroom similar to anonymous Facebook Rooms that was
introduced later in October 2014 would be nice as described in my blog article
entitled “Facebook
launches Facebook Rooms - The 90’s Return as Facebook faces competition from
Anonymous Mobile Social Networks”.
Twitter rolls out Group
DM and 30 second Vines - How TweetDeck's Scheduled Tweets combines all these
features
But
I guess this is the best Twitter can do, as after all the only have roughly 284
million users as noted in the article “Twitter's
user base keeps growing, particularly on mobile devices”, published October
27, 2014 1:29 PM PDT by Ian Sherr, CNET News!
So
will I be using this latest feature? Not as long as Tweetdeck exists!
 |
Currently
I'm still testing out Tweetdeck
and I like it much more than Twitter, as it's a great complement to Twitter. I
especially like the Schedule Tweet feature, as that's helping to automate my
twitter feed. If they're great enough, you'll see me tweet pictures of these
features on my Twitter feed.
Ciao.
