Elon Musk has revealed that Twitter is developing ‘Articles’, a function that allows publishing up to “books”, according to the tycoon. This tool will replace ‘Notes’ and even make it possible to create long and complex “tweets” on the same social network.
“Twitter quietly renamed Notes, which was in an experimental stage, to Articlesearlier today!”, published one user, accompanying the statement with a screenshot of the social network’s web version. Additionally, he cites a publication from February 8, where one looks at how he looked when he was still called ‘Notes’.

Hours later, Musk replied to the tweet confirming that the platform is working on this new feature. “This will allow users to post very long and complex articles with mixed media.. You can publish a book if you want”, pointed out the tycoon without giving further specifications.
In this way, Musk is demonstrating that content creators will be able to create long posts like on websites or blogs. However, There has been no confirmation whether this function will only be available to those who have paid for Twitter Blue who can use up to 25 thousand characters, or to all users..

Twitter Notes was announced last year as a way to write “longer” on the platform. This feature is limited to users in the United States, Canada, Ghana and the United Kingdom. Besides that, Despite what one might think, development started before Musk bought the social network.
In contrast to this function, Articles will be more similar to blog entries, because in addition to text, multimedia content can also be included, which is not only limited to photos and videos.. Twitter is expected to announce who can use it, how many characters will be available, and when it will go into trial mode.
