Twitter Launches Instagram Story-Like Feature, Fleets

This week, Twitter launched a new disappearing messaging feature, Fleets. Users can now interact with their following by Fleeting text, photos and videos, and reactions to Tweets that disappear after 24 hours. Similar to Instagram and Snapchat Stories, users can customize their Fleets with backgrounds and texts, as well as reply to other Fleets with direct messaging. Fleets can be viewed at the top of the home timeline. To share a tweet in a Fleet, users can tap the “Share” icon at the bottom of a tweet. We can expect to see a live broadcasting feature available in Fleets soon.

The first 100 stores are set to open in 2021. Customers can expect to receive recommendations, expertise and other consultative services from specialized team members. Beauty shopping from home will also be available on Target.com, as well as contactless purchasing with Drive-Up and Order Pickup.
