Super Tweets Get Super Follows- DTNS 3975
Daily Tech News Show
It’s no secret that Twitter has been looking into subscriptions as a source of revenue. At its Analyst Day presentation, the company announced its first offering in this lineup, Super Follows, which will let users charge their followers for access to additional content. In the demo, Twitter showed one example of a user paying $4.99 a month for access to exclusive tweets, deals and discounts, a supporter badge, newsletter, and community access. Will this new model payoff for the company?
Starring Sarah Lane, Rich Strophollino, Justin Robert Young, Len Peralta, Roger Chang, Joe.
