Twitter testing Instagram-like Close Friends feature, will let users limit tweets to trusted friends 

Instagram lets you limit stories to close friends only now Twitter also plans to do the same with two new features Trusted Friends and Facets.

Twitter is testing a new feature that would allow users to let their trusted friends view the tweets. The feature that is being tested is similar to Instagram’s Close Friends feature. Instagram lets you limit stories to close friends only now Twitter also plans to do the same. The micro-blogging site had shared early design concepts for its new “trusted friends” and Facets features. Users can choose a specific audience using the Trusted feature and Facets can be used to categorise the tweets. Of all the new features that Twitter seems to be working on, the Trusted Friends feature would really be useful for users. Sometimes you post tweets that you do not want certain people to read. It could be someone from your organisation or someone from your personal circle. Some people do maintain separate accounts for their personal and professional work but once the Trusted Friends feature is rolled out, you would not have to maintain two separate accounts.
