Twitter tweets will begin to disappear in 24 hours

Twitter has announced that it is testing a method that allows users to "think aloud" with Tweets that disappear a day after they are posted.

The experience of posting ephemeral tweets called "Fleets" has begun in Brazil, according to this San Francisco-based social platform.

If applied widely, Twitter will join apps, notably Snapchat and Facebook, which have made a similar move. "We are trying a new method that allows you + to think aloud + on the platform without likes or re-posting the tweet or comments," the company said in a message posted on its Twitter account.

"She will be called" Fleetz "and will disappear after 24 hours."

This may encourage users to share ideas they wouldn't have expressed in a tweet, said developer Kevin Beckpour, Twitter developer. "This is a fundamental change for Twitter, so we are excited to start testing it."

What do you think? Is Twitter copying Snapchat like Faceboo did?
