Are you a verified user on Twitter? If not, you might want to hurry up and get that blue badge, because TweetDeck is about to become exclusive for the elite. That’s right, Twitter has announced that starting next month, TweetDeck will only be available to verified users. That means no more advanced features, no more multiple accounts, and no more custom columns for the rest of us.
Why is Twitter doing this? Well, according to their official blog post, they want to “provide a more consistent and secure experience for our most engaged and influential users”. They also claim that this move will help them “combat misinformation and spam” on their platform.
If you’re a Twitter user, you might have noticed a new option in your settings: a 30-day trial for the new TweetDeck. But what does this mean for the millions of non-verified users who rely on TweetDeck for their daily dose of tweets? How will they cope with the loss of their favorite tool? And how will this affect the Twitter ecosystem as a whole? This new version of TweetDeck lets you manage multiple accounts, schedule tweets, and monitor trends.
Some users may notice a difference in their user experience, especially if they rely on third-party apps or tools that use the Twitter API. For example, if you use a social media management tool that allows you to schedule tweets, monitor mentions, or analyze trends, you may encounter some delays or errors due to the new limits. You may also see less variety or freshness in the tweets that you see in your timeline or search results.
Users are getting tired of Tweetdeck’s constant glitches and errors. It’s like they don’t want us to use their app anymore. The new rates really make a case to go for the competition. Either way, looking for alternatives comes with great benefits. Preferably something that doesn’t crash every five minutes or make me log in again and again. Something that actually works, you know?
