Twitter announced the launch of a new feature that allows to follow up to 300 topics such as sports and entertainment to be followed, as are users on the social network and will be available from November 13.
The Topics function allows you to follow topics in the same way as people with the aim of making the platform closest to new and intermittent users and facilitate the discovery of new accounts and threads, as announced by the social network executives.
This tool will allow you to follow up to 300 different topics about sports and entertainment, “but it will be extended to more global issues week by week,” Twitter confirmed in an official statement.
One of the issues that will not be found will be the politics content, at least in this first launch group, due to the sensitivity and controversy that this implies.
In this way, the user will have to look for a topic that interests him to follow, and once he does it, all the tweets that are published on the topic will appear in his timeline as until now those of the other accounts that follow in the social network will appear.
“We know that the main reason people come to Twitter is to follow the thread of the things they are interested in,” said Topics team director Rob Bishop during an interview.
