The social media platform has confirmed that it is currently testing a new feature called ‘CoTweets’ which will allow two different Twitter accounts to compose a single tweet. Both accounts will be tagged in the same tweet as part of the collaboration. “We’re now testing CoTweets, a new way to Tweet together,” Twitter posted, sharing the new features along with a video explanation. “Two voices are louder than one,” the micro-blogging platform said. The upcoming feature will allow users to invite another Twitter user so they can contribute content in a single tweet. The ‘CoTweets’ feature will allow users to share credit for content they create together. « Back to recommendation stories This new feature, which is currently in beta and available to a select group of users, will help brands expand their reach further as more than one influencer will latch on to the content and share it with their audience. Meanwhile, this will also preserve the authenticity of the original content and help other users who share the work someone else has done by tagging the respective person and giving them credit on Twitter. Share a Tweet, share the cred. Now try CoTweets, a new way to Tweet together. https://t.co/q0gHSCXnhv — Twitter Create (@TwitterCreate) 1657215427000 The collaboration trend was originally started by TikTok, a short-form video sharing platform, which had introduced the ‘Duet’ feature. How CoTweets works: It’s a simple process with basic steps. The ‘CoTweets’ feature works the same as tweeting in a regular post. Only here, users need to click on the CoTweet icon to send an invitation to another Twitter account to compose the same post. However, for collaboration to work, both accounts must have a public account and follow each other. Currently, an account can ‘CoTweet’ or simply put – collaborate – with only one Twitter account at a time.
