One of my favorite new features of Twitter was the newsletter service they called Revue. It was an amazing feature that allowed you to gather the email addresses of your fans and send them a weekly or little monthly update about what you are up to.

In an effort to cut costs, however, Twitter is shutting this new feature down, effective in January of 2023.

We’ve made the difficult decision to shut down Revue.

In January 2021, Twitter acquired Revue as part of an ongoing commitment to enhancing the Twitter experience for writers everywhere. Our goal has always been to make it easy for these writers to connect with their readers and future subscribers on Twitter, opening up new opportunities for readers to better connect with writers and their content. Integrating Revue into Twitter has provided a huge amount of value, informing new product features that give writers more options for connecting with their audiences.

This has been a hard decision because we know Revue has a passionate user base. We’re grateful to everyone who has used our service over the years, and hope we can continue to help you build a community with your readers on Twitter.

If, like me, you made use of this great feature, you can find a great alternative at substack.com.
