经过数月的猜测,Twitter终于推出了市场期待已久的高端订阅服务,不过美国用户还需要再等一段时间才能用上。
新服务叫Twitter Blue,首先会在加拿大和澳大利亚推出,在两国售价分别为每月3.49加拿大元和4.49澳大利亚元(分别合2.88美元和3.44美元。)
该服务将根据用户需求提供一系列新功能。其中之一是“撤销”功能,用户发布推文之前可以预览也能进一步修改。该功能与用户呼吁很久的编辑按钮不是一回事,但已是Twitter能提供的最接近的功能了。
“我们很重视用户反馈,正在开发迭代解决方案,向经常使用Twitter的用户提供需要的功能,也能提升Twitter体验的专门功能和福利,”Twitter在一篇博文中说。
Twitter Blue用户可访问书签文件夹,方便整理保存的内容。还有所谓“阅读器模式”的新阅读体验,可将长内容转换为易于阅读的文本模式。
虽然Twitter Blue可能是第一个由Twitter自行推出的付费服务,但并不是其首次涉足付费领域。就在几天前,Twitter还宣布与本地一家名叫“明天”的高端天气服务公司达成合作,每月收费10美元。2月Twitter第一次宣布有意进驻高端服务,当时还介绍了可能推出的产品,用户可利用该功能向粉丝收费提供专门的产品或体验。公司还考虑让用户“打赏”喜爱的博主。
目前,Twitter Blue在美国上线的日期尚未公布,不过公司确实暗示将在更多市场推出。
Twitter在博客中写道:“今后我们将继续听取用户的反馈,提供更多功能和福利。像以前一样,我们将随时更新进展,敬请关注……至于有些人提出的怀疑,答案是否定的,Twitter并不会抛弃免费模式,永远不会。新推出的订阅服务只是为有需要的用户在现有体验基础上提供加强和补充的功能。”(财富中文网)

After months of speculation, Twitter has rolled out its long-anticipated premium subscription service, though U.S. users will have to wait a while longer before they can sign up.
Twitter Blue is launching first in Canada and Australia, at a price of $3.49 per month in Canada and $4.49 in Australia. (That’s $2.88 and $3.44 in U.S. dollars, respectively.)
The service will feature a range of new offerings based on things people have asked for. One add-on is an “undo” function that allows people to preview tweets before they send them, giving them a chance to make changes. It’s not quite an edit button, something people have repeatedly clamored for, but it’s as close as Twitter has come to date.
“We took this feedback to heart, and are developing and iterating upon a solution that will give the people who use Twitter the most what they are looking for: access to exclusive features and perks that will take their experience on Twitter to the next level,” the social media site said in a blog post.
Twitter Blue users will have access to a Bookmarks folder, letting them organize saved content. There's also a new viewing experience called “reader mode,” which converts long threads into easy-to-read text blocks.
While Twitter Blue might be Twitter’s first in-house subscription service, it’s not the first for-pay option the company has introduced. Just days ago, it announced a partnership with a new premium local weather service called Tomorrow that will carry a $10 per month charge. Twitter first telegraphed its interest in premium services in February when it gave an outline for a potential product that would let people charge followers for special content or experiences. The company is also considering letting people “tip” their favorite posters.
Right now, there’s no information on a U.S. launch date for Twitter Blue, but the company did imply more markets are coming.
“We will be listening to feedback and building out even more features and perks for our subscribers over time,” it wrote. “As always, we’ll be keeping you updated as we progress right here, so be sure to check back in…And for those wondering, no, a free Twitter is not going away, and never will. This subscription offering is simply meant to add enhanced and complementary features to the already existing Twitter experience for those who want it.”
