Sep 1(ABC):The latest feature on popular microblogging site Twitter lets users choose who they want their tweets to be seen by. With this feature called Twitter Circle, users can choose if everyone or only those in their circles can view their tweets.
It was rolled out on Tuesday. The statement for the release said that the reason behind the creation of Twitter Circle was “a new way to tweet to a smaller crowd”.
However, users have to apply the feature every time they tweet on the tweet-by-tweet basis, with which they can see who is in their Twitter Circle.
Moreover, the tweets marked specifically for the circle cannot be retweeted, giving users control over who can engage with their tweets.
Twitter started testing the feature in May and made it available for global users of the application after receiving an “overwhelmingly positive” response.
