on Social Media Today:
After announcing the expansion of its Stories-like ‘Fleets’ option to users in Japan just last week, Twitter has quickly followed that up with a full roll-out of the function, with all users on iOS and Android to get access to Fleets over the next couple of days.
So now, you can create Stories on Twitter, with a dedicated tray of Stories – sorry – Fleets bubbles along the top of your news feed, where users can share updates that disappear after 24 hours within the app.
Which, while it is indeed a copy of Stories, Twitter says will fulfill a distinct need on the platform.
