But you could argue that it doesn’t end there, where the like button is so far, a drop-down list of options will appear as is already happening on Facebook so that we can show a little more precise reaction to this tweet, in the list of options will appear: Thoughtful, Sad, Laugh, Applause and Heart. In this way, new functions will appear in the options menu of Twitter that will help us to eliminate irrelevant information or tweets depending on whether we ask the social network to show us all the answers or only those that concern us. A grain of sand for Twitter to stop being the toxic dung it often becomes.
