Twitter is testing embedding video, images and GIFs into a tweet. The kids probably like it, but do the kids use Twitter?

Twitter is currently testing a feature that gives people the ability to stuff a tweet with multiple images, videos and GIFs. You might think this sounds a little chaotic, which you are undeniably right to think.

“We’re testing a new feature with select accounts for a limited time that will allow people to mix up to four media assets into a single tweet, regardless of format. We’re seeing people have more visual conversations on Twitter and are using images , GIFs and videos to make these conversations more exciting. With this test we’re hoping to learn how people combine these different media formats to express themselves more creatively on Twitter beyond 280 characters.”

Earlier this week, Twitter also began testing a feature that gives people the ability to set statuses on their tweets. Statuses such as “Hot take”, “Unpopular opinion” or “Vacation Mode” should then, according to Twitter, give people the opportunity to add better context to their tweets.

Whether or not there will be any of these experiments remains to be seen.
