A Fleeting Story: How Twitter Fleets Failed

this video is brought to you by us slide b we help companies pitch investors by helping them ,prepare a pitch deck calculate how much they need to raise and identify investors in their ,space you can sign up for free at slippy.com youtube when you talk about stories in social ,media it usually means posts that can be a video an image or text that'll just vanish ,usually after 24 hours before snapchat introduced this idea of disappearing messages and content ,back in 2013 every post on social media remained in the archives of the internet forever now fast ,forward to 2021 and all the leading social media platforms have their own stories feature ,the ones we all know instagram facebook and even linkedin and then there are other ,platforms like pinterest and spotify they're experimenting on implementing a story feature ,and then of course twitter but some of them may have been a little too early to the party twitter ,only came up with this version of stories in late 2020 when they introduced fleets like fleeting ,tweets get it and the first days the feature reportedly experienced issues with a load of users ,and was pretty sluggish being the solid platform they are twitter fixed the technical issues but ,fleets had a bigger problem people wouldn't use it it was pretty much the same stories feature people ,had been using for years a roll of posts on top of your regular feed just like your instagram stories ,the content you see there from the accounts you follow disappears after 24 hours but fast ,forward to today only eight months later twitter is calling it a day and shutting down fleets why ,well they have admitted that the feature didn't pick up steam as they hoped and they're going ,back to the drawing board so let's talk about twitter today and how they failed to adopt one ,of the most trending forms of social media for younger generations this is company forensics,a brief history of stories the first one took him up with this feature was snapchat back in 2013 ,when it introduced the interactions between users in the form of disappearing messages and posts ,snapchat wanted to be a more ephemeral and informal channel to interact with other people ,it became one of the fastest growing social media apps ever already in 2014 snapchat had ,more than 30 million users and continued to grow to more than 80 million in the following ,years and a lot of that success probably had to do with snapchat's fresh take on social media ,that simple idea of disappearing posts became a blueprint for the industry it resonated with the ,younger audience right away but also proved to be quite valuable for different purposes ,all this matters because stories took over popular social media platforms almost 10 years ago twitter ,joining the party so late might be bad in the long term since the beginning of stories its ,functionality has evolved in many ways it has constantly added new engagement features like ,ar filters good old stickers and gifs but a set of new e-commerce solutions makes stories appealing ,for advertisers and different kinds of businesses too in 2016 instagram pretty much carbon copied ,the feature and became a massive success counting more than 500 million daily users now they were so ,popular that facebook decided to implement them on its platform and on whatsapp and even other ,platforms like spotify which is not inherently a social media platform linkedin and pinterest have ,been experimenting with stories and then came of course tick tock in 2017 making waves on the ,social media waters sharing many of snapchat's styles of doing things with short videos in full ,screen vertical format however tick tock has no stories or vanishing posts for that matter but ,other companies have evolved their version of stories for example youtube is now calling it ,shorts and experiments to make the platform more accessible for people to record and upload 60 ,second videos from their phones one we are trying ourselves by the way it just got out of beta and ,it remains to be seen if youtube will end up looking more like tick tock after all can you ,imagine me dancing to bts and it has also become the place for experimentation on live streaming or ,live audio chats twitter has noticed other social media facts too like the fading success ,of clubhouse or watch a video about it and anyway they introduced spaces which is a place for live ,audio chat groups and apparently spaces will continue to live and take fleet's space on that ,upper page so stories are part of the new norm a more casual less permanent way for people to share ,experiences and thoughts on the fly it sounds like something that would have fit into twitter's ,nature isn't twitter supposed to be all about fleeting thoughts and casual conversation at least ,it was before it mutated into this powerful social and even political tool but that's ,probably a whole nother st

Twitter launches 'Fleets'

fleet week came a little bit early here,on fast money or late depending how you,want to look at it,no we're not talking about ships or the,navy we're talking about,tweets twitter rolling out a new feature,today,called fleets just like in fleet of,ships,let's get out to julia borston with the,details,not in the navy but still take us,through what exactly,fleet fleets are this has nothing to do,with the navy dom,sorry to disappoint but twitter is the,latest social platform,to allow its users to post photos or,text that automatically disappears after,24 hours,now fleets this refers to the fleeting,nature of a thought,are now rolling out to iphone and,android users now this is designed to,play into users desire to minimize their,digital footprint,and twitter says that those new to the,platform when they were testing it out,found it an easier way easier way to,share,but on the downside the fact that these,messages disappear,means that fleets lend themselves less,well,to advertising now this feature of,disappearing messages was pioneered by,snapchat's,stories feature and then followed by,instagram stories,twitter's latest feature launch comes,the same day,that ceo jack dorsey testified before,the senate along with facebook ceo mark,zuckerberg,they both said they agree that the,section 230 liability shield,needs to be revised both of them called,for more,transparency around rulemaking and,enforcement they were also pressed on,anti-conservative bias which they both,denied,dom all right julia borsten fleets i,guess it means fleeting,that's the play on words right,pretty much all right julia borsten,thank you very much,twitter we're gonna trade it maybe not,in a fleeting way but dan,nathan fleets are they a game changer,for twitter does it make you want to buy,the stock,well listen i i don't think it's a game,changer but i do like the fact that i,opened my twitter application today on,my iphone and i saw something different,for like the first time,in 10 years and i thought that was,pretty cool there's a company that,has not been um growing users that was,one of the reasons why the stock got,nailed,um last month pop following their q3,results and i think that they have,a lot of innovations to roll out not all,of them are going to be game changers um,but to me i like the fact that they're,doing it for all intents and purposes i,just make one point is that,you know i don't know why this has to be,you know like an,instagram or a snapchat chat sort of,thing i don't know why,tweets can't expire after one day that,sort of thing and maybe they're going to,be pushing towards that but,i like the innovation karen do you like,the innovation is this going to make you,tweet more,i follow you on twitter you do,i think i follow you too i don't tweet,very much though so,it's i'm not really there the target,user though i mean for social media,stocks i'd rather be in,in facebook and mark zuckerberg also,getting grilled on the hill today,you know i just um i just still think,despite,all of the political noise around it,i don't know what's actually going to,change and you know the,product that they provide advert,targeted advertising is just,too valuable so i like facebook here i,think the valuation's not expensive,i mean i it may be worth noting here,like you said karen that these,both these ceos were grilled by,lawmakers on capitol hill on both sides,of the aisle by the way guyadami,i don't know if you caught any of that,grilling that happened today,for those ceos i watched some of it is,this a true scenario where social media,has,real headwinds in the coming years,because of just how much controversy,they've stoked,about are they publishers or just,platforms,i missed it i was actually releasing my,shoes at the time,that was i found that more interesting,than watching uh virtual hearings from,the floor of the senate with that said,jack dorsey is a stud and i don't think,he gets enough credit,for uh running two companies,simultaneously and in terms of the stock,i think twitter's fine now i didn't,think it was going to go from 53 to 38,but 38 was the level that it held a few,months ago 38 seems to be the line in,the sand,and if you look david einhorn from green,light just,initiated a position i think half a,million shares or so and he's obviously,one of the more savvy investors out,there so,i think twitter is fine i think you try,to buy it again here again i didn't,anticipate that,huge decline from 53 down to 38 but 38,is your line in the sand i think it goes,higher from here,shepherd smith here thanks for watching,cnbc,on youtube

Twitter Fleets: Stories for Twitter!

can't say I saw this one come in what's,going on YouTube my name is Sam Scheffer,and I've got some interesting news to,share with you today twitter is testing,ephemeral tweets called fleets that,disappear after 24 hours yes basically,stories for Twitter I guess it was only,a matter of time,Twitter is currently conducting the test,in Brazil right now so if you're in,South America definitely check to see if,you have access and let me know ok so,here's how fleets work there's gonna be,a new interface at the top of your,Twitter feed as you can see here yes it,looks just like Instagram stories you,tap on a profile to view fleets you tap,on your own profile to create a fleet a,fleet is basically a tweet 280,characters you can add an image or a gif,that gets posted to your Twitter profile,photo and not the main Twitter feed and,stays there for 24 hours,you cannot retweet fleets you cannot,like fleets you can however respond to,fleets in the form of a DM or with an,emoji reaction just like you can on,Instagram where fleets differ from,Instagram stories is how they're laid,out fleets are vertical and Instagram,stories are horizontal I like you,probably do have a lot of questions,about fleets you might be asking,yourself why why not just post a regular,tweet and be done with it some people,might not be comfortable tweeting things,that can be shared and retweeted to,infinity and beyond well yeah you can,totally just screenshot a fleet and then,share it for the world to see I guess,the answer to why is Twitter doing,stories is the same answer as to why,Instagram did stories back in 2017 the,stories format just works for ephemeral,sharing things that are meant to be,deleted and disappear you probably use,Instagram stories right I definitely do,personally I'm really excited about,fleets it's one of the biggest changes,to the Twitter platform ever again it's,only being tested right now so I don't,actually know if it's gonna roll out,globally to all users but I'm remaining,optimistic I had more questions about,fleets that I tweeted and then the,official Twitter comms account answered,all of them for me can you create or,view fleets on desktop no it is a mobile,only product right now can you restrict,them to certain groups allah close,friend,on Instagram stories no will you get,impressions or view metrics on your,fleets yes will there be a private,historical log of all your fleets like,you can view your Instagram stories or,snapchat memories even no and no you,will not be notified if someone's,screenshots your fleet but interestingly,you can share a fleet as a tweet once,you fleeted that's a mouthful and I,guess most importantly when will you or,I have access to fleets it's hard to say,again they're only testing it in Brazil,right now but I'm excited if you're not,already following me on Twitter and now,would be a great time to do so because,when I get fleets I will be fleeting,like a madman again if or when I get,them thank you for watching this tech,update subscribe if you're new around,here and I will see you in the next,video
