Generally I think Twitter stories are a good idea. I throw away a lot of stupid stuff on Instagram that I would rather throw away here. So here's hoping it arrives in the US soon.

I expect it will — Twitter employees are testing it internally

— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) March 4, 2020

Twitter "Fleets" look exactly like Instagram Stories, with the circles at the top and everything.
But Instagram can't complain -- they copied the "stories" idea from Snapchat.

We’ve been listening to this feedback and working to create new capabilities that address some of the anxieties that hold people back from talking on Twitter. Today, in Brazil only, we’re starting a test (on Android and iOS) for one of those new capabilities. It’s called Fleets. pic.twitter.com/6MLs8irb0c

Fleets are a way to share fleeting thoughts. Unlike Tweets, Fleets disappear after 24 hours and don’t get Retweets, Likes, or public replies-- people can only react to your Fleets with DMs. Instead of showing up in people’s timelines, Fleets are viewed by tapping on your avatar. pic.twitter.com/sWwsExRLcJ

We’re hoping that Fleets can help people share the fleeting thoughts that they would have been unlikely to Tweet. This is a substantial change to Twitter, so we’re excited to learn by testing it (starting with the rollout today in Brazil) and seeing how our customers use it.
