#Saveforlater: Twitter to soon introduce bookmarking feature
Follow UsTwitter is planning to make a new addition to its platform. The social networking site is set to launch a bookmarking feature.
The new addition will allow Twitter to save tweets so that a user can read it later.
Till now users of the social media platform retweeted the tweets or used the "heart" button option to save a post for future reference. However, the "heart" button resembled more like an option and the retweet option was not that quick.
After the new feature is introduced, the users will be able to bookmark a post for future reference, instead of liking or retweeting it.
VP product Keith Coleman made the announcement with the hashtag "Saveforlater".

Hi Twitter! Many of you (especially in Japan!) have said you’d like to be able to easily + privately save Tweets for later. Right now, people bookmark Tweets by liking, DM-ing to themselves, or Retweeting. But this could be easier. https://t.co/iQ9W9mB1uV
