Twitter Fleets, we hardly knew ye(et).
Credit where credit is due!)
A year later,LinkedIn even got in on the trend.
It seemed like by now everybody who needed stories and a lot of platforms who didnt had them.
It brings me no joy to tell you this, but they are called fleets.
A name so heavy-handed I will not insult your intelligence by explaining its meaning.
Product lead Kayvon Beykpour called fleets a way to share fleeting thoughts.
(He, apparently was not above insulting your intelligence.)
Theres a world where fleets could be a great thing.
Plenty of peopleelectively purge all their tweetson a scheduled basis.
Putting more protection around those dumb thoughts and making them ephemeral?
Sounds good to me.
But, of course, this probably isnt going to eclipse Twitters core product.
But thats a big wait and see scenario.
Because what Twitter really, definitely needs is more people engaging.Yall fleet fleet motherfuckers.
