Ever since Twitter’s launch in 2006, it’s been known as the platform meant for random thought dumps that are not longer than 140 — and eventually 280 — characters. Bite-sized content has always been a part of its identity; so imagine the surprise of many users when they launched their new feature Fleets this week. Similar to Facebook and Instagram stories — and, oh, remember Snapchat? — Fleets are meant for content that lasts for only 24 hours. Do you think it’s a yay or a nay?
