Here’s a new subscription service on Twitter. This is an addition to the platform’s paid subscriptions like Super Follow, Twitter Blue, and ticketed Spaces. Today, Twitter launches “Tomorrow”, a paid weather service.
Project Tomorrow
Twitter’s idea behind “Tomorrow” is simple. As weather affects everybody, it’s also something that can bring the Twitter nation together. Tomorrow is a paid weather service that users can subscribe to monthly. With such a service, the subscriber will receive a short message in his/her inbox about the weather forecast for the next day. The forecast will be made by a city meteorologist and comes along with a CTA, meme, news story, poem, or short video. A team of experts will also do some drop-in audio chats to calm people in case of bad weather. All these features aim to encourage interaction among communities by sharing resources about the weather. Eric Holthaus, a community journalist, and meteorologist will lead Project Tomorrow.
First 16 States of the US
Tomorrow will initially be available among 16 cities:
- Atlanta
- Boston
- Charlotte
- Chicago
- Dallas/Fort Worth
- Detroit
