By Adding "Fleets," Is Twitter Just...Phoning It In?

This morning, Twitter greeted its user base with an announcement: A new feature is rolling out today. Dubbed "Fleets," this new part of Twitter now allows you to create videos or select a photo from your camera roll, add text and post to a separate area than your regular feed, and the content will stay live for just 24 hours. Hm...sound familiar? The social platform is marketing the feature as a place to put all those fleeting thoughts that aren't good enough for a permanent post.
