These blog posts, or Notes if you will, <strong>can contain images and even embed other tweets<\/strong>. When you hit publish on a completed Note, Twitter will create what it calls a \u201cNote card\u201d, which it will then send out to the timelines of all your followers. These Note cards are basically just tweets that contain a review of the Note and links to it. The <strong>Note itself will live in the Write section<\/strong>, which will appear in the sidebar of your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2728 Introducing: Notes \u2728<br><br>We\u2019re testing a way to write longer on Twitter. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SnrS4Q6toX\">pic.twitter.com\/SnrS4Q6toX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Twitter Write (@TwitterWrite) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterWrite\/status\/1539640956915290112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Write section is like the HQ for all of your Twitter long-form content<\/strong>. It is where you go to write your drafts and it is where they will stay once you have published them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s really cool about Twitter Notes is that <strong>you can go back and edit them once you have published them<\/strong>. This might seem like a basic feature for a blog editor to have but it is actually pretty revolutionary for Twitter. An edit tweet button has long been Twitter\u2019s most requested feature, but the company has always pushed back as it worries that people could change Tweets that have been cited as sources for news stories. This perhaps indicates that Twitter doesn\u2019t see Notes as breaking news devices in the same way that it sees Tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This news follows on from other recent Twitter stories such as an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-testing-new-communities-feature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">upcoming Communities feature<\/a> and a Tik-Tok-like <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-explore-tab-tik-tok-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">update to the Explore tab<\/a>.
