Twitter rolls out ‘Fleets’ for all users

San Francisco, Nov 17 : After testing its own version of “Stories” in several markets including in India, Twitter on Tuesday said it is now rolling out its disappearing tweets feature called “Fleets” for all users worldwide.
“Today, we’re launching Fleets so everyone can easily join the conversation in a new way — with their fleeting thoughts,” Twitter’s Design Director Joshua Harris and Product Manager Sam Haveson wrote in a blog post.
Meant for sharing momentary thoughts, Fleets only stick around for 24 hours.
Twitter said that its tests of Fleets in Brazil, Italy, India, and South Korea, were encouraging.
The results showed that Fleets helped people feel more comfortable joining the conversation and Twitter saw that people with Fleets talk more on Twitter.
“Those new to Twitter found Fleets to be an easier way to share what’s on their mind. Because they disappear from view after a day, Fleets helped people feel more comfortable sharing personal and casual thoughts, opinions, and feelings,” Harris and Haveson wrote.
