Apart from a very vague screenshot shared by the tipster, not much is known regarding Articles. Judging by its name, it is believed that users would be able to post tweets that would exceed Twitter’s 280-character limit. This is particularly useful for posting up announcements, blog-like posts or expansive comments, which can easily be shared by others on the platform. Interestingly, Twitter did not deny or confirm Article’s development when inquired by CNET. “We’re always looking into new ways to help people start and engage in conversations on Twitter,” a company spokesperson told the publication. “We’ll share more about our work here soon.”
