Watch your tweets disappear as Twitter releases Fleets 

Twitter announce the arrival of a stories feature to rival Instagram and Snapchat

If you've ever woken up overwhelmed with the shame of a ill-conceived 3 am tweet, then today is your lucky day. Twitter has announced the arrival of Fleets - a mechanism for your fleeting thoughts - to great fanfare. The new feature, which you'll find at the bottom of your tweet, lasts 24 hours and is not a new concept to social media. 

First made a 'thing' by Snapchat all the way back in 2013 and now Instagram and Facebook, short-lived posts seem to be what Twitter users want more than anything else. Twitter says that their testing has shown that people feel more comfortable joining a conversation that has a time limit.
