Kim Kardashian West, the reality-TV-star-turned-business-mogul, recently became the voice of many users as she initiated a request for an edit button on Twitter – a feature similar to what is currently available on Facebook. This modification would undoubtedly provide the tool that millions crave; the ability to rectify typographical errors in their tweets, instead of resorting to deleting and reposting.
The request caught the attention of none other than the interim CEO and co-founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, provoking a public response. Curious about what he had to say? We’ve got the complete scoop below. While Dorsey did not outright deny the possibility, he remained deliberately ambiguous, refraining from providing a clear confirmation or denial of working on such a feature.
It’s a well-known fact that tweets once posted are uneditable, an aspect that distinguishes it from other popular social media platforms. Yet, this differentiator is often seen more as a frustration than a badge of honor. It’s no surprise that Kim’s plea resonates with several Twitter users who have found themselves on the wrong side of typos and misguided tweets.
As we anticipate Twitter’s potential pivot towards user flexibility, we are keeping our eyes and ears open to any changes that may be on the horizon. For now, Twitterati can only hope that the combined clout of its user base and Kim Kardashian West might just be enough to initiate the much-needed change.
Will Twitter give its users what they’ve been clamoring for, or will tweets remain as unabatedly permanent as they’ve always been? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
