Twitter introduces new TweetDeck, makes user verification mandatory

Twitter on Tuesday launched TweetDeck 2.0 - a new and improved version which makes user verification mandatory. The change will take place in 30 days, the microblogging app said in a tweet.

Features of new version

In the new updated version, TweetDeck would be offering a more convenient Twitter experience by letting them view multiple timelines in one easy interface. This would have many features to help get the most out of Twitter. With this update, one could manage multiple Twitter accounts, schedule Tweets for posting in the future, build Tweet collections, and more. Talking to Twitter, Twitter Support wrote, "We have just launched a new, improved version of TweetDeck." With the tweet, they have also shared the link to the new TweetDeck.

Right now new features include: 

• A sign-on flow that helps you set up your TweetDeck experience the way you’d like to. You can also include existing columns from the standard TweetDeck version in your TweetDeck Preview experience. 
• A Tweet composer that lets you create threads and add photos, videos, GIFs, polls, or emojis to your Tweets, including scheduled Tweets. 
• Advanced search helps you find the content you're looking for.  
• Tweet order so you can view top Tweets or latest Tweets first in columns.
• Decks that let you organize your columns into groups for cleaner workspaces. 
• A Column Creator that offers a more intuitive way to create columns, and includes the ability to “Search Twitter” from within the column. Create column types like profile, topics, explore, events, moments, and bookmarks. 
• Video Docking allows you to watch a video while performing other functions like accessing content in the same column, and changing Decks.

Further, as per the press release, they will be working to make improvements to the Teams feature and would be sharing more information about those updates as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the Twitter CEO tweeted and wrote, "To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we've applied the following temporary limits, verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day, unverified accounts to 600 posts/day, new unverified accounts to 300/day."
