Ending the week with our third launch this week — and one of my new favorite features on the app.
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
Over the last 3 months, Articles on X have grown 18x. It is one of the fasting growing new products on the platform. Today we're making them even better: we're launching a Listen feature—powered by Grok Voice. You'll be able to listen while scrolling Timeline or on-the-go from your lock screen. It's now available on iOS for top Articles in English and launching on more platforms soon. Here's how it works:

@allegrajacchia Nice! Need features for commerce creators next.

This is about enabling monetization without compromising authenticity or transparency for creators.
The Paid Partnership label makes disclosure seamless -- strengthening trust across the global town square.
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
Today we're announcing Paid Partnership labels on posts. X's core value is providing on authentic pulse on humanity. While we want to encourage people to build their businesses on X, undisclosed promotions hurt the integrity of the product and lead people to distrust the content they read on X. This new feature will allow you to comply with regulations, but more importantly: it enables you to be transparent with your followers.

@keithpeiris @lessin v confused why tome “didnt work” - seems like you just didnt want to do that company?

@lessin wants everyone to know that he was right about building an unstructured-data-first CRM working and also right about Tome not working. I guess I owe him something.

Short all the structured CRM companies... a personal example with NotebookLM.

What's the play for car rental for a NYC resident these days? Want to go upstate for Thanksgiving from Manhattan.
Normal car agencies, Turo/Getaround, something else?

@SchramIAm @KITH @RonnieFieg @AimeLeonDore Lol online is great if you like paying full freight for shipping for something to maybe come in 2 wks
English
@bweitz1 @KITH @RonnieFieg Online delivery seems great for me. But maybe that’s what happens once you’re at like $20k in return credits because you never learn your lesson. And the in store experience is 1000x better compared to @AimeLeonDore. Unless you like being treated like garbage.

On a mission to make Detroit the home of drone manufacturing. Birdstop moved here 30 days ago and is already manufacturing, testing, and shipping drones from downtown Detroit. We have the workforce, the advanced manufacturing experience, and the infrastructure to build now and build fast.

@nikitabier Any thoughts on deeplinks for commerce content to help creators get rewarded for their content / keep attribution versus forcing a login via IAB?
English
We're testing a new link experience, starting on iOS -- to make it easier for your followers to engage with your post while browsing links.
For creators, a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good.
To help get better signal, posts will now collapse to the bottom of the page so people can react while you're reading.
As always, remember: the post should stand alone as great content so write a solid caption.

At @640oxford, we often say we’re the bridge back to the Midwest. Founders reindustrializing the country and revitalizing legacy industries need access to the customers and infrastructure they’re building for.
Well, talk is cheap. Just arrived in SF for a 2 month stint with my wife and two daughters (including a newborn). I’m here to facilitate the bridge.
DMs are open if you want to get together.

Doubling down: Do you know how many creator tooling companies have had an exit > $50m?
There have to be at least a few, right? Nope. The answer is zero.
Building for creators is a great way to lose money.

I just got an email proposal for "WeWork but for creators and podcasters" Possibly the worst idea I've heard in my entire life
