Twitter is fiddling with experimental features again. This time around it’s letting two accounts co-author a tweet. The feature, named ‘CoTweets’ , is already testing on a select few accounts in the US, Canada, and Korea.
‘CoTweeting’ is designed to allow two separate accounts to be linked under one single tweet. The tweet will appear on both authors’ timelines. While it’s possible that regular users will be able to CoTweet, the feature seems to focus on brand accounts.

“CoTweets help authors share the spotlight, unlock opportunities for engaging new audiences, and enhance their established partnerships,” Twitter said on its help page.

At the moment, we’re not sure whether the feature will be expanded upon or left to die. Twitter isn’t too sure yet either. A Twitter spokesperson said that the feature was a “temporary experiment”.

“We’re testing CoTweets for a limited time to learn how people and brands may use this feature to grow and reach new audiences, and strengthen their collaborations with other accounts.”
That isn’t exactly a solid indication of anything. There’s no telling when the feature could roll out more widely. Or if it even will. We’ll have to wait and see.
