Twitter Blue Subscription Launching Monday

Social media giant Twitter announced today that it will be launching its subscription service, Twitter Blue, on Monday. The subscription will cost $8/month for web users and $11/month for iOS users. The new service offers exclusive features to subscribers, including the highly sought-after blue checkmark. This checkmark is a symbol of status and recognition among social media users and is a feature that many have been asking for since the inception of the platform. Twitter has also promised additional subscriber-only features in addition to the blue checkmark, such as customizable app icons, advanced tweet controls, and access to an “undo” button that allows you to take back tweets before they are posted. These features are sure to be popular with power users who want more control over their accounts. The move by Twitter comes at a time when other social media platforms are introducing similar subscription services in order to generate revenue from their user base. It remains to be seen whether or not this new service will be successful in driving up subscriptions for the platform. In a statement released today, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said “We’re excited about this new offering and what it means for our community of users. We believe that this will help us better serve our most engaged members while providing them with exclusive benefits that they can’t get anywhere else."
