Twitter Features
- What features will Elon add to Twitter? Order Tesla with a tweet Be able to connect to other Twitter users through neural link
- Twitter PM’s, why do you suck? New feature = failure Twitter just released “fleets” which is essentially just a copycat of instagram/snap stories. This is exactly why Twitter will never achieve viral growth or wide-scale monetization. There’s simply a lack of vision, poor product leadership, and sub-par tech. I used to be an avid user years ago unti
- link Fintech giant Stripe jumps into crypto with a feature that lets Twitter users get paid in stablecoin https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/22/stripe-launches-crypto-payments-feature-with-twitter-as-first-client.html
- What are the actual difficulties of building twitter? I've read the grokking article about how to design twitter and Designing Data Intensive Applications. I'm guessing this doesn't quite qualify me to build twitter. Could I get an outline of what the hardest parts would be in a real life situation? It seems like lots of these complicated services init

- link Twitter Fleets Shutting Down https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/14/22577166/twitter-fleets-shuts-down-stories-clone What happened @Twitter?

- Twitter Hi All, I recently got offer in twitter. Had some questions regarding work and compensation. How is the work at Twitter ? Is it more maintenance work or we do get to do new features. How about stock refreshments? What range do we get as L4 ? Thank you in advance and really appreciate your inputs
- link Twitter’s WLB I am curious about WLB in Twitter in general. Seems like a small company (5.5k employees according to this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272140/employees-of-twitter/) for the amount of data/problems they should have (ops pains, feature development). Does this mean WLB is really bad due to sma

- Why has the feature to unsend text SMS/iMessage or edit Tweets not been created yet? Why is this technology taking so long to be implemented? I know this feature has been asked by end users for atleast 5+ years so I'm assuming there must be something with these services that don't allow it. Any engineers have any guesses on the complications of implementing what seems to be a reason
- Twitter shipping speed by 2023 So to hit it's 2023 growth targets Twitter wants to "double the number of features shipped per employee" what does that mean. Everyone is gonna just work twice as much, or there's enough slack to find 2x more efficiency in the company? https://twitter.com/TwitterIR/status/1364941813589504001?s=20
- Review period for Trumps posts Why doesn't FB or Twitter have a review period feature on Trump's (or anyone alike) posts before they get published? Kind of like the news have several second lag in case someone says something or something happens so they can interrupt it.
- Linkedin focus on jobs Looks like they also have news and follow features now. I rarely ever use it but browsed after about 6 months today and looks like it has morphed into a jobs site with some features for stickiness - follow influencers, news snippets, recommendations. There's a ton of recruiter spam. As engineers, a

- vote Is there a market for Clubhouse? I am failing to understand the hype around Clubhouse. The business is much like podcasts in real time with Q&A. I think Twitter will be offering a similar feature soon. We moved from traditional “telecast” to “on-demand” for video content. However for audio we are moving more towards live, interact
