Twitter Will Allow Users To Buy and Sell NFTs Through Tweets (decrypt.co) 30
Social media platform Twitter today announced that it will let users buy, sell, and display NFTs directly through tweets in partnership with four marketplaces. Decrypt reports: The integration, called NFT Tweet Tiles, displays the artwork of an NFT in a dedicated panel within a tweet, and includes a button to let users click through to a marketplace listing. The integration -- which is still in testing -- currently works with marketplaces from four specific partners: Solana-centric marketplace Magic Eden, multi-platform NFT marketplace protocol Rarible, Flow blockchain creator Dapper Labs, and sports-centric platform Jump.trade. Collectively, those marketplaces span several blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Flow, Polygon, Tezos, and Immutable X.
A Twitter representative confirmed to Decrypt that the feature is blockchain-agnostic, so all networks are supported so long as the links are from a partnered marketplace. The representative added that the "feature is currently being tested with select Twitter users across iOS and web," and that those users will see the NFT Tweet Tile integration if they're in the test group. A Twitter Blue premium subscription is not required to use the feature.

Nah. The show must go on.
If he doesn't like the idea or implementation, he can certainly can it, but he doesn't take over until tomorrow.
In the meantime, someone has an OKR to notch off their quarterly checklist, so ship-it!

Shouldnt they wait to see what he wants to do with it, rather than announce 11th hour policies that will likely change soon?
He just fired the CEO and other top executives [marketwatch.com].
He has also said Twitter cannot be a free-for-all [marketwatch.com] without consequences and, most importantly, that advertising can be fun.

No, they shouldn't. What they should do is go collect their backdoor payoff for announcing this before the hammer fell.

Can I sell my ugly monkey picture tokens too? (Score:3)
I invested all my lifesavings in a bunch of these ugly monkey picture tokens where the artist probably didn't spent more than 5 minutes on composing such an ugly picture.
Since I don't even own the picture, I decided to print out the token text and put it on the wall above my sofa.
All my friends are jealous as they are all taking pictures of it.
I would like to sell them for at least $500,000 dollar per url.

Do you offer a "Only valid 200 response" guarantee on those URLs? If so, guaranteed for how long?

Decentralized (Score:2)
The whole point of NFT was that it was supposed to be decentralized. But in practice, there is nothing decentralized about them at all.
This is just Gems for your mobile game, but implemented in an environmentally disastrous way.
it seems ... (Score:2)
... this "integration" is just a link to a marketplace. ok, with a fancy button, but any user could already do this by simply tweeting the gif along with the url.
am i missing something or is this indeed just the inane fluff that it seems to be?
