X to launch news wire service-XWire

Social media platform X is gearing up to introduce a news distribution service named XWire, with the intention of competing against established platforms like Cision's PR Newswire.

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of Musk's takeover and transformation of Twitter into X, the company held a meeting. During this gathering, company executives expressed their vision of YouTube and LinkedIn as potential future competitors. This suggests that X is considering venturing into the realms of video streaming and recruitment.

In fact, the company is already actively working on the latter. In July, a beta version of this service was launched through the account @XHiring. Verified organizations can utilize this service to showcase critical job openings on their profiles, effectively reaching millions of suitable candidates, as stated in the account's description.

Furthermore, Musk has recently implemented changes to how news story links are presented on X. He has restricted the display of headlines in previews of third-party links, so that only the link's domain and the main image from the destination page are visible in tweets. This change eliminates additional context from the previews.
