Twitter is experimenting with a new feature that will show how many people are \u201ctalking about\u201d individual, popular tweets. The metric shows up under some embedded tweets when they appear elsewhere on the web, and seems to replace both the retweet and replies totals with one, cumulative total.<\/p>\n

The new look for embeds as seen above is just a small experiment according to Dan Jackson, a Twitter spokesperson, but is part of Twitter\u2019s ongoing attempts to explore new ways of providing more social context around tweets, he says.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an interesting reframe of social metrics that might not be that familiar or intuitive to audiences not stepped in Twitter as everyday users \u2013 retweets and replies involve a bit more mental gymnastics to grasp than a simple and direct expression of how many people are engaging with the material.<\/p>\n

Twitter\u2019s simplification of this particular information, especially in embeds where new users or advertisers who aren\u2019t as familiar with the platform are more likely to stumble upon them, is a smart way to make its internal success measure more externally relatable. As with all of its experiments, there\u2019s not guarantee that this will ever roll out broadly, but it\u2019s an interesting look at thought process around engagement metrics overall.<\/p>\n
