Twitter testing ‘pinned tweets’ free for high-profile users
Having been available for a year through the Twitter partnership system, Titter is now rolling out the opportunity to ‘pin’ tweets to the top of a user’s stream for free.
Being tested with high-profile users, such as politicians and musicians, the system will allow a tweet to be ‘pinned’ to the top of a stream for however long is wanted.
This is the same a system which Facebook has for pages, which allows businesses to pin a post to the top of their newsfeed.
However, a tweet will only be able to be pinned using the browser version of Twitter, and cannot be used on the mobile app or via TweetDeck.
The feature can be found in a user’s analytics page on Twitter.
