Twitter client, Brizzly, which was first introduced in 2009 has returned with a brand-new objective of serving the needs of all the users in the Twitter world. As part of its return to the tech world, the company yesterday launched its service called, Brizzly Plus.
This is a subscription for users that costs about $6 each month, or $60 yearly, and allows people to access the so-called "non-native' Twitter features such as the auto-deletion and undo button.
The latter-mentioned feature lets a subscriber set a delay between the time they "type and send their tweet," and when it gets posted. More so, the chooser may opt for either no delay, a 10-minute, or 1-second delay.
Simply, the user just ticks on the 'undo' option, to cancel a particular twitter message and give more time for editing.
More so, he can do redo whatever tweet he chooses to, allowing him to modify messages, tweed again, and Brizzly Plus will then remove the old tweet.
Technically, it's not an edit function. Even though it is not technically an edit, the service simplifies the process, as it automatically copies the message from the wrong tweet.
Auto-delete, on the other hand, lets a user choose between one month, one week or 24 hours to have their tweets removed or deleted. It doesn't matter if Brizzly is sent by Brizzly or not, the tweet gets deleted anyway.

'Fave to save' and 'Auto-Delete'
Brizzly users who choose to have a particular tweet saved or stored can certainly do so. This is possible through, 'Fave to Save.' The service works by allowing the user to set a specific number of likes, and messages on Twitter that will pass the basis will be spared from deletion.
Meanwhile, auto-deletion service, which the other third-party services started, is one that individuals have apparently been enjoying. Essentially, Twitter does not still natively let it transpire. Users have requested Twitter develop an 'edit' button.
However, Jack Dorsey, the company CEO has said it would probably never take place. He added this particular feature would defeat Twitter's original purpose. Dorsey also said Twitter started as a text message or SMS service.
Moreover, the CEO said, it's a common knowledge in the tech world that, the moment a person one sends a message, he can no longer take it back, actually.
Get to Know Brizzly
It was in 2009 when Brizzly was initially introduced in the Tech world. Then, it became Facebook and Twitters popular way of viewing their respective timelines with Groundbreaking features such as in-line videos and photos, threaded DMs or direct messages, and group chats, among others.
Former Techcrunch writer M.G. Siegler described the branding of Brizzly as "a killer logo" of what appears to be a bear that wears "a dead Twitter bird's skin."
Ten years ago though, Aol bought Brizzly to strengthen its initiatives in regenerating AIM. Following the purchase, in 2012, Brizzly closed, after AIM got reprioritized within AOL.
It was only in 2018 when Brizzly was again bought back from AOL/Oat by Jason Shellen, the company's original founder. It seemed that the Brizzly's re-launch was considered as "a bit of a joke" and was not taken too seriously that all posts to Brizzly didn't reach their proper destination.
Seemingly, Brizzly recalled, they all needed to take a deep breath and try to remember all the good times they've had on social media sans all the flaws. It then became an instant hit. And, to date, this Brizzly Plus subscription service, and the revival in 2018 has now been called Brizzly Zero.
