Twitter has been making a lot of changes ever since Elon Musk took control. The new CEO of the company has introduced view counts to tweets for the very first time, as well as providing publicly visible counts of how many times a given tweet has been bookmarked. Many of these changes have proven controversial, but in spite of the fact that this is the case it seems like Musk is going full steam ahead to reshape Twitter in his own image.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that a new potential tab might be making its way to user profiles. This tab is called the Highlights tab, and Alessandro Paluzzi has reported seeing it on his profile pages. The purpose of this tab is currently unclear, but it is quite likely that it will serve as a list of some of the more notable tweets that a user has put out.
The Highlights tab will be situated between the Tweets and Media tabs. Many users are excited about its rollout because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up bringing more views to tweets that contain important messages. However, it might also lead to the user interface becoming more cluttered than might have been the case otherwise.
Musk has often been criticized for cluttering up Twitter’s UI. Tweets now have retweet counts, like counts, bookmarks and views, and it is making for a rather confusing user experience with all things having been considered and taken into account.
It will be interesting to see what happens when this feature receives a wider rollout. It might help to provide more value to the blue tick, which seems to be Musk’s primary tactic for making his company profitable. Some are also commenting on how this suggests that Elon’s priorities are not in order. Twitter has been facing numerous glitches, so it is rather odd that Musk is choosing to add new features instead of attempting to smooth out the ones that already exist.
