Stories are usually posts that will just vanish usually after 24 hours. Before Snapchat introduced this idea of disappearing messages and content, back in 2013, every post on social media remained in the archives of the internet. Fast forward to 2021, and all of the leading social media platforms have their own stories feature but some of them may have been a little too late to the party.

Twitter only came up with its version of stories in late 2020, when they introduced Fleets. It was pretty much the same stories feature people had been using for years. A roll of posts, on top of your regular feed, just like Instagram stories. The content you see there from the accounts you follow disappears after twenty-four hours.

Fast forward to today, only eight months later, Twitter is calling it a day and shutting down Fleets.

Let's talk about Twitter today and how it failed to adopt one of the most trending forms of social media for younger generations in today's Company Forensics.
