Twitter Moments Can Now Support Web Links


Twitter is adding more options to its feature 'Moments' according to its blog post.

Twitter launched its feature, ‘Moments’ in 2015, which has been similar to its competitor, Snapchat’s Live Stories. Moments is a video-like feature with a bunch of relevant pictures and videos merged together into one single content outlet. Now this feature is getting further updates, according to blog post of the micro blogging company. This feature will now be able to support web link on both operating systems, Android and iOS.
The social media network newly added feature, moments, could be expected to have more capabilities and enhancement to make it even better. Initially, the feature was only supportive of images, videos, polls and vines, but now it will be able to support links so that publishers can tell their part of the story in their very own websites, through the provision of links. This is going to attract more publishers on the platform, as they can even advertise their brand.
Twitter Inc users will now have the opportunity to simply click on the link that has been given through Moments and they will be redirected to the website where the article or the relevant content is actually present. The company is not letting the tradition of the internet die so soon. By not exploiting the process of hyperlinking, and staying to its root, the same cannot be said for of the social media companies. Publisher can also be given credit for his hard work and the actual source from where the content was picked up can be accessed, which is spectacular.
Once users click on the given link and reading the desired article, they will be redirected back to Moments on the social platform and continue from wherever they left, which provides the convenience and authenticity. The social media advertising company has also signed partnership deals with various publishers that will show their set of pages through the feature. The feature of storytelling is going to be in-depth and enhanced through the addition of links.
The AMP-powered web support will enable the publishers to make work conveniently and faster. They would get a wider variety of audience for every category of content posted. The support for both operating systems – Android and iOS – is going to be available anytime now. Twitter is not the only organization that has been involved in the AMP project. Others are also collaborating, including Chartbeat, Adobe, Google, etc. to focus on accelerating the web on mobile devices.
