Twitter still has the possibility to be a positive, lucrative, tech superpower, however not without an immediate shift in focus. At the minute, the marketplace is railing hard versus Twitter: the sharpest decrease in marketer trust (and income) understood to any media platform in history, an absence of viewed worth in a subscription-based design, all whilst Trump leaps back on the platform. By prioritising positive effect and trusted news sources over outrage-baiting techniques and the pumping of Tesla stock by its brand-new owner, Twitter might produce the open worldwide town square where concepts and citizenship are shared easily.
Twitter need to select an editorial board, comprised of trustworthy reporters and editors – using a meaning of what it indicates by ‘No twits, just tweets’. For example:
Always:
- Respect individuals as having dedications, relationships, hopes, vulnerabilities and worths
- Respect the self-respect and intelligence of its audience
- Respect our task towards the world and the limited resources we share
- Respect users as stakeholders in the platform – and where possible, manage them the chance to take part in the revenues, beyond sharing material for attention
- Respect and favour reality examined, peer-reviewed information
Never:
- Create brand-new issues for individuals in order to fix them
- Sow department, hate or suspicion
- Make individuals feel mad, insufficient, insecure or scared
- Stereotype, label or put individuals in boxes
- Be sexist or racist
- Lie
- Exploit delicate info about people
- Regard individuals as unlimited makers of usage and outrage

Oh my, where do we start? First and primary, I am offering my point of view as a brand name strategist and active user of Twitter. However, to be really transparent, my use of Twitter has actually altered considerably, particularly considering that Elon took control of. Now, with the looming idea that he might be stepping down, numerous are asking what Twitter should do next in concerns to its brand name – should they rebrand, or alter their logo design?
Personally, when it concerns its visual identity, Twitter doesn’t require to do anything. Their icon and whatever connected to it are embedded in individuals’s minds at this moment. So, what needs to they do? The focus should return towards the typical users and the total experience of the platform. What was fantastic about Twitter prior to Jack Dorsey stepped down was that they proactively listened to their users.
Remember when they attempted to include stories? Users disliked that, however they came out and were transparent, stating they were exploring and took our feedback. Twitter was distinct since it was among the couple of social networks platforms that wasn’t attempting to do whatever and in fact listened to its users. It’s a various story when you take a look at Instagram and TikTok, where Instagram is well-known for copying TikTok functions.
Twitter made it clear that their objective is to create income and they are pressing greatly towards it. However, with this push, it pushes away numerous who did not opt-in for Twitter Blue and who added to the success of Twitter. What about them? What about their requirements? Elon’s management techniques put an authoritarian umbrella over the business, where it’s essentially ‘my way or the highway’.
That’s not what Twitter has to do with. It’s a platform that has to do with sharing and beginning discussions. The business requires to accept that once again. Get feedback on functions, get users associated with the procedure, be open about their errors, and be open to criticism.
Twitter doesn’t have a visual brand name problem; it has a user experience problem. Twitter need to concentrate on enhancing the total user experience and actively listen to its users, and accept its worths of sharing and beginning discussions.
