Micro blog Twitter has gone the Facebook way. It has introduced Highlights, a push notification for users which will be a summary of the best Tweets.
Making the announcement on its official blog, Twitter said: We want to help you get the most out of Twitter, no matter how much time you spend with it. While your home timeline is a great place to browse through and engage with Tweets, we know it can be challenging to find the time to get through everything.Highlights, a fast and simple summary of Twitter, lets you catch up quickly on the best stuff that is most relevant to you. To create your Highlights, we look at things like the accounts and conversations that are popular among people you follow, Tweets from people you’re closely tied to, topics and events that are trending in your area or within your network, and people that are popular or trending among people you follow.
When Twitter users opt in to receiving Highlights, they will get a notification on your phone up to twice daily letting them know their Highlights were ready. On opening of the notification, they will go directly into the Twitter app where their Highlights will be displayed in a new interface. These can be viewed by swiping through from right to left. When they have reached the last Highlight, another swipe will put them directly into their home timeline.
Initially, Highlights will be available in English to all Android users. Users can turn it on now by going to “Settings”. Select your account handle; & in the mobile notifications menu, check the Highlights box.
