Topics on Twitter
Twitters new topics have already started rolling out – within months you will be able to follow Topics – these topics will to cut though all the tweets you actually do not want to see. At first I must say I thought oh no, why are they changing Twitter again, its my favorite network. But the more I think about it, I can’t wait, I can follow topics on all of my favourite things and really not have to see all the things from people I follow and like but I don’t always like what they tweet. And I think its going to make it much easier for other people, and just maybe Twitter might get more popular! This could be a game changer for Twitter!

You’ll be able to follow Topics like
I wonder Topics on Twitter is going to be a bit like following hashtags on Instagram I don’t actually like that too much because it is just swamped with all the images with the most likes first – which I don’t really want to see, they are from big brands or they are ads or promoted or they are bot driven, and it doesn’t tell me the story. So I hope its not like that..
Topics on Twitter also sounds like Refind here – I LOVE refind, it finds me all of the content that I want to see, and shows it to me when I want it – and it gets better as it learns what you want to read about – Twitter say that as soon as they know what you’re most interested in, Topic suggestions should get even better. What I Like about refind is that you can use an extension to save your own content or content you find to it and you can share directly from the platform – By the way refind is by invite only – and you can use my invite here
