5 benefits of Twitter’s new ‘Stories’ email

Twitter announced a new email delivery service called “Stories” where you can receive a weekly email digest delivered to your inbox.

The weekly summary will feature “the most relevant Tweets and stories shared by the people you’re connected to on Twitter,” according to Othman Laraki, director of growth and international at Twitter.

The email will be in digest format similar to its “Discover” feature with its140-character signature.

The digest will feature tweets and links to articles and blog posts shared on Twitter by people you follow, even if you do not follow the original writer of the post and articles.

Users can also see what has been deemed as a favorite or retweeted by people they follow by clicking on “view details.” You can then favorite, retweet, or reply to those tweets from there as well.

Here’s what the new Twitter Stories email looks like:

Stories is based on technology from Summify, a service Twitter acquired in January that allows for the creation of personalized social media digests.
