Twitter\u2019s pending acquisition hasn\u2019t put a freeze on all product testing, as we\u2019ve seen hints of the upcoming edit tweets<\/a> feature leak out. And, now, the company has announced<\/a> a limited test for Twitter Circle<\/a>. It\u2019s a function that\u2019s similar to Instagram\u2019s Close Friends feature<\/a> or, if you\u2019ve been around for a while, Google Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Twitter Circle will let users pick up to 150 people to join their Circle, including followers and non-followers alike. Then, when they feel like tweeting without sharing to the masses, they simply pull up the Choose Audience menu while writing a tweet and choose Twitter Circle instead of Everyone (as shown below). According to Twitter, this is different from its Communities<\/a>, which also hide tweets away in an attempt to prevent \u201ccontext collapse<\/a>,\u201d because those tie to particular discussions while Circle is just standard tweets that aren\u2019t available for everyone to see.<\/p>\n

Some Tweets are for everyone & others are just for people you\u2019ve picked.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re now testing Twitter Circle, which lets you add up to 150 people who can see your Tweets when you want to share with a smaller crowd. <\/p>\n

Some of you can create your own Twitter Circle beginning today! pic.twitter.com\/nLaTG8qctp<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a way to have similar privacy to a locked account that only appears for people who follow it without restricting yourself to a locked account. People who are currently members of your Circle will be able to see the tweets you post to it, but they can\u2019t use the built-in retweet icon to share them automatically. Of course, that doesn\u2019t stop screenshots or downloads of any content in the tweet, but again, it\u2019s the same as if you had a locked account except it varies based on the tweets you select.<\/p>\n

As Twitter\u2019s guidelines for the test make clear, just because the public can\u2019t see your tweets doesn\u2019t mean there are no rules. Elon doesn\u2019t own the site yet<\/a> \u2014 you can still get banned for abusive behavior or other activities that break its rules. The feature has been in the works since at least last year, popping up with \u201cTrusted Friends\u201d and \u201cFacet\u201d branding<\/a> for the settings, and earlier this year with the name \u201cFlock<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

For now, the chosen few who will have access to Twitter Circle can only create a single Circle, and only the person who creates the Circle can see the list of people that are in it. The feature is available to them across iOS, Android, and the web. If you\u2019re in a Circle, you can\u2019t remove yourself from it, but you can still mute a discussion if it takes up too much of your timeline.<\/p>\n
