Twitter has stated that it has shut down its collaborative posting feature ‘CoTweets’, which the microblogging network had been testing for the “last several months.”

“For the last several months, we’ve been testing a new way to tweet together using CoTweets. We’re sad to say that the current experiment is coming to an end,” According to the platform’s support center page.

“CoTweets will no longer be available to create starting Tuesday, 1/31. Already existing CoTweets will be viewable for one more month, at which point they will revert to Retweets. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

A CoTweet was a co-authored tweet that was simultaneously posted to both the authors’ timelines and the timelines of their followers.

The usernames and profile pictures of two authors in the header let users recognize CoTweet.

The feature allows authors to share the spotlight, provide new options for engaging new audiences and strengthen existing partnerships.

When the site was launched in July of last year, it stated that “this limited-time experiment allows select accounts in Canada, Korea, and the US to send invites to CoTweet with another account.”
