Twitter tests disappearing tweets: “Fleets”

Your tweets could soon have a shelf-life. Twitter has begun testing ephemeral tweets.

Ephemeral, according to the Oxford Dictionary, means ‘lasting for a very short time.’ In the case of Twitter – 24 hours.

Techcrunch.com reports that testing has begun in Brazil on what Twitter is calling “Fleets.” They can’t be liked, shared or replied to. They’ll also vanish after 24-hours.
