Twitter rolled out small settings updates, small changes but big impact

Today Tweeter rolled out very few small changes to settings of Notices section. Now you not able to see settings for @Replies. At first, it looks very small & unnoticeable change but you wrong. Of course changes are small but it's impacts are going too big ! ! !

(After the Change)

(Before the Change)

So what's the change?

In Settings > Notices > you were able to see three options to choose.
  • all @ replies
  • @ replies to the people I'm Following
  • no @ replies
Now let's understand all options.

all @ replies: see all @replies posted by people you follow, whether or not you follow the person to whom the reply is directed. You will see all @replies posted by people you follow.

@ replies to the people I'm Following: see @replies posted by people you follow to other people that you also follow. means if you follow both people then only you're able to see the tweet in your homepage.

no @ replies: Simply, If an update begins with @username, it will not show in your homepage.

After this new update you're not able to see these setting.

So What's the impact?

From Now on you're not able to see your friend's reply. You're able to see the tweets he or she made publicly so if I tweet "@WeboLobby new article posted" My followers not able to see that tweet only @WeboLobby able to see that tweet but if I tweet "new article posted" then everyone who follows me able to see it.

So by this small changes you're not able to see a conversation of the person whom you're following or Your followers not able to see the conversation you're doing with others and because of this tweeter charm is going away because this is the main thing which attracts new followers and create a vibes in whole tweeter community. When you able to see the conversation of the person whom you follow, there are chances that you will follow the other person & you can jump to that conversation which create new connections.


Case no 1- jump to the conversation
For Eg: WeboLobby tweet me "@aniruddhdodiya Thanks for RT" Now WeboLobby followers able to see this tweet if they select all @ replies in setting so now one followers of WeboLobby is interested in this conversation so he also jump to the conversation and tweet"@aniruddhdodiya nice article"

Case no 2- Getting New Followers
Now Aniruddh reply the tweet"@WeboLobby my pleasure, Article was nice". Now here, followers of Aniruddh able to see the tweet if they select all @ replies in setting. Now many followers of Aniruddh don't know about @WeboLobby so they going to check the profile and there are chances that some followers of Aniruddh might be interested to follow WeboLobby.

Verdict: By this new changes people are going to stop to jump in conversation & one way is closed for getting new followers. I think twitter should remove the new changes after all tweeter is all about conversation & networking and because of this step twitter will loos it's charm.
