A new third-party Twitter client is apparently offering a number of features that the official app continues to ignore in spite of repeated requests from users. Called Brizzly+, the service builds on an old Twitter client called Brizzly and, offers users a number of most-wanted features, including the ability to edit and auto-delete tweets. The former, in particular, is an oft-requested feature that the company’s co-founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey, recently announced will likely never be implemented on the platform.
The auto-deletion feature sounds similar in essence to the a new functionality called ‘Fleets’ that allows users to post transient tweets that vanish after 24 hours. Announced earlier this week, Fleets is currently being tested only in Brazil, but Twitter says it might be rolled out to other regions in the coming days. Do note, however, that while the Fleets appear separately from the users’ main timeline and cannot be quoted, liked or re-tweeted, the auto-deletion feature will be applicable to full-fledged tweets with all those options.
Brizzly+ is a subscription service with plans starting at $6 a month or $60 per year, but the company is offering a free trial for the first two-weeks. You can get more details from the official Brizzly website.
