推特准备取消“点赞”功能？

导读

 

说到推特，大家常用的功能之一应该就是那个代表“点赞”的心形按钮了吧。而最新有报道称，这个心形按钮可能会被取消。

 

Soon, you may not be able to like tweets by clicking a heart icon. The Telegraph reports that Twitter has weighed the possibility of abandoning this feature. And since Twitter doesn't actually have all that many features, it caught our attention.

很快，你可能就再也不能用那个小心心来给别人的推文点赞了。根据《电讯报》的报道，推特已经开始考虑抛弃这个功能的可能。而由于推特本来就没有多少功能，这个问题还是很值得注意的。

 

 

但报道中的说明并不十分明确，只是说取消点赞功能是CEO本人的意思。

 

“We have a big like button with a heart on it and we're incentivizing people to want it to go up,” Dorsey said.

多西说：“我们在那放了那么大一个心形的按钮，这是在鼓励人们把自己喜欢的东西顶上去。”

 

“Is that the right thing? Versus contributing to the public conversation or a healthy conversation? How do we incentivize healthy conversation?”

“这么做是对的吗？这能让对话变得更大众、更健康吗？我们应该怎样来鼓励更健康的对话呢？”

 

He also reportedly said that the social media site would be getting rid of it “soon.”

据称，他当时还说他们的网站“很快”就会拿掉这个功能。

 

然而推特随后对此做出了正面回应。

 

It wrote - in a tweet, natch -“As we've been saying for a while,we are rethinking everything about the service to ensure we are incentivizing healthy conversation, that includes the like button.

他们在那条推文里是这样写的：“正如我们这段时间所说的，我们正在重新思考我们的服务的每个方面，希望以此激励网络舆论往更健康的方面发展，而这就涉及到了那个心形的按钮。”

 

We are in the early stages of the work and have no plans to share right now.”

“我们现在还处于这个企划的初级阶段，目前还不打算透露更多。”

 

 

 

而这一措施想必也是推特意识到需要思考并改善网络舆论健康的一个表现。

 

David Gasca, Twitter's product manager for health, tweeted that the company has received more than 230 proposals - spanning issues like misinformation and healthy discourse.

推特的健康问题产品经理大卫·加斯卡发推文说公司收到了超过230份提案，它们涵盖了包括谣言和舆论健康在内的诸多议题。

 

We don't yet know how much new insight Twitter will glean from these proposals, beyond what we already know to be true about its conversational health.

我们还不知道推特能从这些提议中发现多少新的真知灼见，除了那些已经显而易见的舆论健康方面的问题。

 

But it seems only fitting that Twitter should open itself up to crowdsourced feedback - both positive and negative.

现在推特唯一适合采取的做法似乎是，广泛地接受外界的反馈，不管是好的还是坏的。

 

在你看来，还有什么方法可以帮助推特改善网络舆论健康的吗？
