HOW IT WORKS
- Select members of the circle - it can contain up to 150 people. Tweets sent to the circle will appear with a green badge underneath them and will only be seen by those selected to be in the group. It cannot be retweeted or shared. All replies are also private, even if the Twitter account is public.
- Personalizing Twitter experience - Twitter Circle is another step towards enabling users to personalize choices, control, tools and transparency in joining conversations
- Making users more comfortable in expressing themselves - it eliminates the need to have alternate or secondary accounts and the need to toggle between protected and public account settings
