It’s Not Just About You, Elon. It’s the $8 Fee.

[ad_1] An interesting and revealing thing happened on Twitter in recent weeks. The infamous blue check mark, once a status symbol among people in media and others who spend time too much time online, took on a negative connotation. There are even hashtags shaming subscribers to the new fee-based “Twitter Blue.” On its face it's not clear why; There should be no shame in paying for a better Twitter experience — especially if you spend many hours consuming it. The drama revealed many of our behavioral biases and why they pose a challenge for an economy in transition.

Twitter began adding gray labels to prominent accounts Wednesday, including brands like Coca-Cola, Nike and Apple, to indi...

[ad_1] Twitter Circle is a new feature to allow members to share tweets with specific people in a group. Here is how it works. Twitter is a sensitive platform to share your views and feelings, and sometimes your views may not be accepted by most of your followers, especially if you have thousands of followers. Maybe some of your tweets are just meant for your friends, or a particular kind of followers. Twitter now has a solution for you with the Twitter Circle feature. This is simply like the concept of a WhatsApp group, wherein the post you make is only shared with the people who are included in your group. On Twitter though, you do it a bit differently.Twitter Circle was initially rolled out to a few users as part of testin...
