Twitter is an incredible place where you can follow and interact with interesting people and communities. Among social media platforms, it is one of the easiest ways to systematically reach users and lets you share thoughts and ideas concisely.
However, Twitter is also a place where social media managers mistakenly tweet their personal views using official company pages. Plus, its feed design makes it difficult to find that damn tweet amid a sea of tweets you’ve liked.
Thankfully, Twitter Blue is here to save the day. But what is Twitter Blue, and how do you get it?

Is Twitter Blue Worth It?
Is it finally time for Twitter to start paying? depends on. Unfortunately, Twitter Blue still doesn’t let you do things like completely disable timeline ads. Twitter Blue certainly lacks a few elements that many users will certainly want to pay for.
On the other hand, many brands and people with no self-control would certainly benefit from the ability to edit tweets. Plus, the bookmarklet function and reduced in-article ad exposure may be worth the money if it keeps you organized and helps you avoid buying things you don’t need. And, don’t forget, it’s the new fastest route to the coveted Blue Check.
