Twitter, which earlier announced that many more people could now qualify for 'verified' check marks, has listed a paid 'Twitter Blue' subscription service in app stores. "According to technology blogger Jane Manchun Wong, who claims to be the first paying user of the service, it includes an 'undo tweet' feature as well as a 'reader mode' to make reading long threads easier." These aren't worth paying for, but limiting the range of your tweets (both incoming and outgoing) to either friend lists or other 'Blue' subscribers might well be worth paying for, at the very least because it would make bots a lot more difficult to operate. Twitter may also include in-app purchases for (one suspects) thinks like live events. See also: the Guardian, 9to5Mac, Engadget.
