Soon, you'll be able to bookmark tweets to read later
Twitter, the social network that redefined the term "information overload," is working on a feature that'll make it easier to bookmark those cool tweets that deserve a second look.
Announced by several key Twitter employees, including product VP Keith Coleman, the new feature could be called "save for later."
According to Coleman, this has been a "top request," and Twitter wants user feedback before they push out a final version of the feature.

And Associate Product Manager at Twitter, Jesar Shah, has implied that the feature might first become available in Japan.

As she pointed out, there are roundabout ways to bookmark a tweet -- for example, you can DM it to yourself, like it or retweet it. But a dedicated "save for later" button is probably a better option than cluttering your direct messages and likes.
Shah also shared an "early prototype" of the feature in a short video (below), but said the final version of the feature is "likely to change." In her example, the feature is simply called "Bookmarks."

We've pinged Twitter about details on this new feature, and will update this post when we hear from them.
