  Making Twitter a better home for writers

  The ironic thing about Twitter getting into newsletters is that the lead gen card they killed a couple of years ago was an extremely effective acquisition tool for me - maybe they should bring it back

  I was an early adopter on @revue, the newsletter platform that I have been using. They were just purchased by @Twitter. I'm happy. https://techcrunch.com/...

  As someone with a decent Twitter audience (hi!) and a sizeable newsletter (https://t.co/...), this is very relevant to my interests. https://twitter.com/...

  Twitter is diversifying into long-form content, even when their short-form content product still needs a lot of work. $TWTR https://twitter.com/...

  Twitter has acquired @Revue, a paid newsletter service they plan to continue running separately. Twitter is now building both a Clubhouse and a Substack competitor. I expect OnlyFans/Patreon clone next. That activist investor really lit a fire under them. https://blog.twitter.com…

  Substack is paid Twitter and now Twitter is buying its own Substack. Got it. The goods from @kateconger https://www.nytimes.com/...
