Twitter readies edit feature for premium users
New York, Sep 1: Permanently misspelled tweets might soon be a thing of the past.
Twitter said Thursday it's working on allowing users to edit their tweets, which it said is one of the most requested features to date.
The social media company said in a blog post that it's testing the Edit Tweet feature internally with plans to roll it out later this month to subscribers of its premium Twitter Blue service.
The edit function will give users 30 minutes to make changes such as fixing typos or adding hashtags after first publishing a tweet.
To make it clear that a tweet has been modified, they'll be labelled and appear with an icon and timestamp. Users can look up past versions of the tweet by tapping the label.
Twitter said it's testing the edit feature with a small group of users so it can identify and resolve potential issues.
This includes how people might misuse the feature, the company said in a blog post. You can never be too careful.
The time limit and version history play an important role, Twitter said. They help protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said.

Passengers on board Air India flight from Copenhagen to Delhi fight over armrest space
Mumbai, Dec 22: Two passengers on board a Delhi-bound Air India flight from Copenhagen (Denmark) came to blows over armrest space just when the aircraft was about to land at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Sunday, a source said.
The flight landed at around 7.35 am.
An Air India official said that the passengers had an argument over some issue at its Copenhagen-Delhi flight of Saturday which was later sorted out "amicably".
According to the source, "The two passengers started an argument over the armrest space in economy class when the cabin crew was serving food and beverages, which turned into a heated exchange. The cabin crew pacified them by giving one of the passengers another seat.
"However, when the aircraft was about to land in Delhi, the passenger came to collect his baggage from the seat he was sitting earlier, they again started the fight and came to blows."
The number of passengers on board the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, operating AI 158 (Copenhagen-Delhi) could not be known.
The source, however, said that the flight was almost full.
When contacted, an Air India official said, "There was an argument between the two passengers over some issue but it was resolved amicably. They even shook hands before leaving the airport."
