Twitter Announces Launch of Twttr, a Vowel Free Twitter

Posted on April 1, 2013

Twitter has announced the launch of a Twttr, a vowel-free version of Twitter and plans to start charging for the regular (now premium) Twitter.

The image above shows a Twttr version of President Obama's most-retweeted "Four More Years" tweet.

Starting today, we are shifting to a two-tiered service: Everyone can use our basic service, Twttr, but you only get consonants. For five dollars a month, you can use our premium "Twitter" service which also includes vowels.
We're doing this because we believe that by eliminating vowels, we'll encourage a more efficient and "dense" form of communication.

You can easily make vowel-free tweets here.

The one feature we wish was an April Fool's joke from Twitter is the line breaks feature, which just leads to spammy looking tweets in the timeline.
