Today in unsurprising news, Twitter has more changes coming up in the next few weeks (again).
Ordinary non-paying users can expect tweaks to the platform’s interface in the coming days and weeks in what Elon Musk calls the “first part of a much larger UI overhaul”.
Last week, the social media platform enabled the ability to swipe right and left to move between recommended and followed tweet rolls.
Changes are coming, this week, to Bookmarks as well.“Bookmark button moving to tweet details page, fixing image length crop & other minor bug fixes next week,” tweeted Musk.
Musk says Tweeters can expect the introduction of those much-awaited long-form tweets.

The platform also announced on Friday, 13 January how it is planning to launch Verification for Organisations (which was previously called Blue for Business). The platform encouraged interested users to apply for early access so they can get on the waiting list.
“As a subscriber, you and your business will receive business accounts and affiliation badges through our self-serve administrative portal,” says twitter.

The platform will then review the applications and eventually open up access. Here’s the thing, Verification for Organisations access will be granted to a limited group as Twitter gradually rolls it out to the rest of the applicants (those approved of course). You’ll have to wait your turn and hope things don’t go wrong this time.
On Twitter, the response to the post has been a call for more clarity on the word “organisation”. With so many badges popping up on the platform, it’s still unclear as to who exactly is included in that qualifier.
Twitter has gone back and forth on this feature, including how it works and how users are expected to behave on the platform, and if the platform’s features actually translate well once people get to use them. We’re hoping for the best this time around.
