    Twitter’s developing a feature to tweet only to your Flock

    Social media has created individual rooms for each of us. But that also means that any person who wants to come through the door will hear what you have to say. If you don’t want everyone to hear something, in particular, Twitter’s got a feature for you. 

    The microblogging site is working on a feature that will allow users to only publish a tweet for a certain group of followers. The user will be able to choose the friends in that group. 

    Birds of a feather…

    A developer called Alessandro Paluzzi, who reverse-engineers software, found that Twitter’s developing a feature called ‘Flock’ which does exactly that. According to the evidence found, users will be able to add up to 150 followers to a group. These will be the only ones capable of replying to and interacting with that particular tweet. The tweet will clearly be marked as a Flock-only tweet. 

    While an appropriate name, Flock is just a placeholder name – that’s according to The Verge that spoke with someone familiar with the matter. 

    Users will reportedly be able to edit their ‘Flock’ after the fact, and users won’t be notified if they’re removed to a flock. 

    Right Twitter?

    While still in development, Flock promises to create more control for users that would like to share more of their life with fewer people. The feature sounds similar to the ‘Close Friends’ feature found on Instagram, which allows you to share Stories with a select group of followers. 

    At the same time, Twitter is developing a Communities feature that creates a dedicated space for groups of people with the same interests. This one’s different though.
