Twitter<\/a> on Thursday introduced a new feature to the globally popular one-to-many text messaging service — the ability to email “Tweets” directly from the message stream.<\/p>\n

The new feature made its debut as the San Francisco-based firm rolled out improved applications for using the service on iPhones or smartphones powered by Google<\/a>-backed Android<\/a> software.<\/p>\n

“You can retweet any (Twitter messages) to your Twitter followers, but sometimes you want to share with another group, like your college roommates or your parents or a friend who isn’t yet on Twitter,” engineer Stefan Filip said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we’re introducing the ability to email a Tweet directly from twitter.com.”<\/p>\n

The feature will be rolled out to all users of Twitter — which allows its members to post brief comments, links or pictures — in the coming weeks, according to Filip.<\/p>\n

Updates to Twitter applications for iPhone and Android were designed to improve search results and highlight photos, videos and news shared at the service.<\/p>\n
