A new Twitter client finally gives us the option to edit tweets – sort of

Brizzly, a Twitter client that was first launched in 2009, is back with a new goal to meet the needs of all Twitter users from all over the world. Today, the company is launching its Brizzly Plus service, a subscription that costs $ 6 per month, or $ 60 per year, and gives people access to non-native Twitter features like a undo and auto-delete button.

The Undo button allows subscribers to set a delay between when they type and send their tweet and when it posts. They can choose between no delay, 10 second delay or 10 minute delay. During that time, they can click ‘undo’ which will cancel the tweet and give them time to edit. They can also redo each tweet, allowing them to make changes, tweet again, and Brizzly will delete the old tweet. It’s not technically an edit, but it streamlines the process because Brizzly automatically copies the text of the offensive tweet.

Meanwhile, auto-delete users can choose between 24 hours, a week, or a month to have their tweets deleted regardless of whether they were sent via Brizzly. If users want to save certain tweets, they can do so with a feature called ‘Fave to Save’, which allows them to set any number of likes as threshold, and tweets that match will be saved from deletion.

Automatic removal is a feature developed by other third party services, and one that people seem to have enjoyed. However, Twitter does not allow this by default. People have also asked Twitter to create an edit button, but CEO Jack Dorsey has said it ‘probably’ never will. He said it beats Twitter’s original purpose.

“We started out as an SMS service. And as you all know, you can’t really take it back if you send a text, ” he said in January. “We wanted to maintain that atmosphere, that feeling in the early days.”

But that doesn’t stop Brizzly from working on Dorsey’s wishes. However, is an edit button worth $ 70 a year? I think it depends on how many typos you make every day.
