    Twitter has acquired the highlight-sharing app Highly. Highly CEO Andrew Courter announced the acquisition in a Medium post on Wednesday, but didn't detail what Highly's role at Twitter would look like. Twitter confirmed to TechCrunch that the deal was an acquihire, meaning Twitter is buying Highly primary for its staff, not the service itself. While it's unclear what exactly Twitter plans to do with Highly, it will no doubt play a part in the platform's wider goal of improving its conversation features.
