In 2021, Twitter recorded $5 billion in revenue.
In 2023, it is estimated that the number of people using the platform could exceed 340 million.
Social networks are undoubtedly one of the most used tools in the world, which is why practically every day new functions, tools and even duels are announced that they show to users. As is the case with Twitter, after being bought by Elon Musk, and which comes with new functions such as showing the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The blue bird social network is one of the most used in the world, and according to estimates in 2023, the number of monthly users of the social network could exceed 340 million, that is, 50 million more than those registered as of 2019, indicate data from its annual report.
Likewise, the statistics platform points out that Twitter currently ranks as one of the leading social networks worldwide, according to active users.
Twitter and its new functions in the search engine
It was revealed that Twitter now has a couple of new features, allowing, on the one hand, to know the price of some cryptocurrencies directly from your browser.
The platform, which was acquired by the also CEO of Tesla for 44 million dollars, added a tool that goes by the name “$Cashtags”, which is an option that according to its new owner, Elon Musk, “is one of the many product improvements that will come to Twitter Financial”.
In this sense, $Cashtags can be used to know the price of cryptocurrencies, entering its ticker symbol (in the case of Bitcoin it would be BTC) or even that of some action, which will allow to know its value with a graph for each symbol.
Meanwhile, in the case of cryptocurrencies, everything indicates that the only two supported so far are Bitcon (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)and it is curious that other currencies, such as Dogecoin (DOGE), are not among those that are not shown, while Twitter details that they will also appear if the symbol of “some important action” is searched.
Depending on the platform, to search for them, there are two different methods, using “$” before the symbol of the action or crypto, although it can also be done with the name of the action, since most of the searches will work in both ways. , although in the case of bitcoin, it is also possible to show its value through the terms “Bitcoin price” or BTC Price”.
In addition, the social network also details that in the coming weeks the user experience will be “improved” and the coverage of the symbols will be expanded.
Where these price charts include a link to view desired value on Robinhood, which points to a collaboration between the platform and Twitter, a site from where you can also buy cryptos or shares.
Another of the changes that came to the social network this month is focused on knowing the performance of each publication made, such as a view counter, to know if they read us or not.
This tool is called “View Count”, a new indicator that allows to know how many times a tweet has been seen, something that already happens, for example in the video. With this, according to Musk himself, the aim is to show “how alive” Twitter is, because according to his data, more than 90 percent of users read, but do not tweet, respond or like, since they are public actions. .
For now these two tools are a new feature in the process of implementation.
Like Twitter, many social networks are making new changes, such as Meta with its WhatsApp and Instagram platforms, both of which are working on a new way of interacting with their messages.
In conclusion, the changes are also important in the technology industry, as they kept users more active, providing them with a better experience.
