Twitter posts are evolving into more modern formats. And while we continue to talk about a possible acquisition by Elon Musk, the San Francisco social has announced the arrival of a new feature on the platform.

It is the possibility of sharing, in a single post, both text and photos and videos, including gif files, to further enrich the tweet. Until now, Twitter only allowed the posting of one type of multimedia content, accompanied by text. As the company itself explains, users have the option to attach any file within the automatically counted limit.

“We’re always looking for new and exciting ways to help creators share more and be seen. Mixing different types of content in a single tweet lets you express yourself on over 280 characters to tell your story,” said said Twitter staff in a blog post. The well-known American technology and information technology blog, TechCrunch, reported on the “mixed media” test as early as last July. In the summer, users could not see these tweets on the computer version but only on Android and iOs while now the company is making the feature accessible to everyone, and on a planetary level.

Is Twitter also suing TikTok?

So it was a busy week for the social network. Twitter has in fact implemented another important novelty these days. That is, it has made the “Edit” post button available to subscribers to the Twitter Blue service in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The company is also rolling out a new TikTok-like vertical scrolling full-screen video interface for switching between clips. No need to wonder: the Chinese of TikTok have invented the social of the moment and surpass everyone. TikTok has already put Facebook and Instagram in trouble because it is the most loved social network by new generations who are leaving traditional social networks. Twitter, for its part, has serious problems to solve but does not lose the fighting spirit.

Musk raises purchase hypothesis

From an administrative point of view, Elon Musk again put forward the hypothesis of a takeover of the American company at the start of the week. The owner of Tesla – the richest man in the world according to the annual rankings of trade magazines – has relaunched his offer at a price of 54.20 dollars per share. The Delaware court has also suspended the lawsuit between Twitter and Elon Musk. And he has given himself until October 28 to complete the billionaire’s purchase of social networks. It was the owner of Tesla who requested the suspension in order to take over the company which tweets at the original price of $44 billion. The billionaire’s lawyers insist everything is ready to buy, while Twitter administrators counter that Musk is bluffing and the banks have received no communication about it.
