Twitter is reportedly working on a Snapchat-style video feature
Earlier this year, rumors surfaced that Twitter was working on a way to make sharing videos on its platform easier. Now, three sources have told CNBC that a camera-centric feature is in the works and may function in a way that's similar to how Snapchat's location-based snap collections are gathered and shared on its Discover tab. According to CNBC's sources, Twitter's function would collect location-based photos and videos and combine them with Twitter Moments, creating a broader collection of information surrounding notable events.
Twitter's Discover tab now snags popular stories and commentary from those in your Twitterverse
If you fancy seeing what headlines those who you follow on Twitter are chatting about in one compact list, some new functionality in the Discover tab will offer their insight in a few clicks. Essentially, the new feature tracks stories that your pals in the Twitterverse post and allows you to see what the commotion is all about via the "View Tweets" option along the bottom of each article link. From there, you can tweet the link yourself and include your thoughts on the particular matter. While the outfit boasts ongoing improvements to the Discover tab, this particular feature will see daylight on the web while hitting both iPhone and Android apps in the next few weeks. Go on. Navigate to your Twitter home page to take it for a spin yourself.
