A new feature called Twitter Circle is now available to everyone. After a 4-month testing period, Twitter saw it as a positive change for the platform.
So, you can now set up a circle for yourself and include up to 150 accounts in it. Whenever you Tweet, you can choose whether to post your opinions to the public or share them with your group of friends.
Twitter says users who took part in the test were excited to tweet and also got more engagement, replies and likes from their contact circle.
You can only have one Twitter circle, so you can't have different groups for work, friends, and public — like, for example, Facebook.
Circuit members can't use the Retweet button to reshare your restricted posts, but Twitter warns you to remember that screenshots can be posted from Tweets.
Also, if someone adds you to their circle, you really can't leave it – you pretty much have to mute, unfollow, or block the person if you don't enjoy discussions.
This is not a substitute for protected accounts – if you set your account to private mode, your Tweets will still be limited to followers you have previously approved.
