Get the Best of Twitter Delivered to Your Inbox
On Monday, May 14, popular social networking and micro-blogging site Twitter shared some exciting news with the rest of the world: that you can get the best of Twitter delivered to your inbox. If you choose to receive it, a weekly email digest will be sent to your inbox. The email digest takes a quick look at what your Twitter connections shared and talked about – it’s basically a summary of the most important tweets and stories shared by the people you’re connected with.
“This new email digest also features the most engaging Tweets seen by the people you follow, even if you don’t follow those who wrote them. You can see who from your network retweeted or favorited these Tweets and click 'View details' to retweet, favorite, reply or view the conversation around them,” explained Othman Laraki, Director, Growth and International.
The same Othman Laraki explained that the recently updated Discover tab and the recently introduced “best of Twitter” feature share a similar design. The emphasis falls on who shared each story; and to help you rank stories by importance, there are summaries for each one. To read the whole story you need only click the headline. If you’re eager to add your opinion, you can tweet directly from your inbox.
