  Twitter is working on “Set a status” in Tweet Composer, codenamed “Vibe” You can think of it as something similar to Instagram Threads app's Status https://twitter.com/...

  Twitter is chasing the white whale of social apps - the offline status indicator. Could replace sticking conferences or current cities in your display name https://twitter.com/...

  Alright, now bring back forum signatures and the universe might be rebalanced. https://twitter.com/...

  Why even provide options? Everyone's status when using Twitter is permanently set to “Existential Panic”. https://twitter.com/...

  “Vibes could be on a per-tweet basis with each post having its own, or on a profile level with the status appearing on tweets and on the profile view.” is each and every tweet not already inviting a new vibe ? https://twitter.com/...

  when this launches I'm going to set my status as “lumpy” and then never think about it again https://twitter.com/...

  over a long enough time frame, everything in social converges to what you were doing on AIM in 2001 https://twitter.com/...

  this is ageist because when I say I'm feeling freaky-deeky then people will know I'm old as dirt https://twitter.com/...

  AIM is back baby. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  MySpace culture is gradually returning, let me add a playlist too https://twitter.com/...

  I think there will be some fun, ironic uses of this feature. But also makes a lot of sense in connection with the ‘close friends’ feature that seems to be launching soon https://twitter.com/...

  honestly some of you will never really know the savagery of an AIM away message in the early aughts. https://t.co/nWcJtN5VLR

  The America Online “AOL” “away message” status started the premise of Twttr. In fact it was the first primary use case. Now the “Vibe” completes the circle. What is old, will be new again. https://twitter.com/...

• @dansolomon Dan Solomon on x

  this is good, the internet was better when it is built to implicitly acknowledge that we will be engaged in offline time, i will make my vibe dashboard confessional lyrics https://twitter.com/...

• @oysterfake Jessica Harvey on x

  finally. catching up to msn messenger https://twitter.com/...

• @scottnover Scott Nover on x

  They're testing away messages https://twitter.com/...

  So... 1) Twitter gonna be Facebook now? 2) “What's Happening” to change to “How You Doing?” (said in a Joey Tribbiani voice) https://www.theverge.com/...

• @can @can on x

  i expect this to stick around as long as any twitter feature does but also very much into it already because of this headline https://twitter.com/...

• @wongmjane Jane Manchun Wong on x

  I feel like it'll become a new spam vector if Twitter allows custom Status https://twitter.com/...

• @mmasnick Mike Masnick on x

  Given the results Lemon v. Snap, thinking @twitter's legal team might want to reconsider “Driving Highway” as an option. Just saying. https://twitter.com/...
