Notes are real fun. Being long-form content and to keep it engaging for the readers, Twitter has added pointers like

Once the notes are drafted, they will be published and will be available in your Home Timeline. The notes can be repurposed by

  • Retweeting
  • Quoting
  • And sharing to other social media platforms as well. 

Notes will have a unique URL. This means they can be visible to the public outside the Twitter platform also and to the ones who dont have an account on Twitter too.
