Twitter Started Testing Business Account (Contributors) Features

Posted by Mercy Livi 14 December, 2009

Its been a talk since a year that twitter is going to release a paid account for the profile that is owned by businesses. And for a first time twitter announced that they have started testing features for this business profile model. They call this feature as contributor.

What does this Mean?

This gives options to enable multiple users to manage a single business account and thus while any one of the authenticated person tweeted for the business profile his / her profile name will be appended with his tweet. They have started rolling out this contributor features with their own @twitter profile.

The below image shows that the tweets from the verified twitter account managed by twitter itself.

You can find a tweet,
“Seeing misdirected tweets in your timeline? Please see the Known Issues page: http://bit.ly/5Aax43″ by goldman who is an employee of twitter. He is a contributor of the @twitter profile and tweeting on behalf of his company.

Twitter claims that the feature will not be released to all business owners all together and they tend to release the new features to limited set of owners for beta testing as they normally do. Between, when they release the features to public release, how will business owners claim them for their business? Do we need to RT the twitter announcement to claim the prize? LOL! The days are not very far away, so we can wait and watch the procedure in a quicker note of time.

At last, this is not the single most features for twitter business accounts; we can expect many more to come. But the only thing is the features that creates buzz among the business people matters most. Since twitter launched the twitterlist and RT features recently. RT features didn’t go well with the twitter crowd! So only time has the answer for contributor feature as well as the other business features that are yet to come.
