Twitter Blue: Microblogging site offers new annual plan for subscription

Twitter Blue Subscription Service: Twitter, owned by Elon Musk, is introducing a new annual subscription service plan. Twitter Blue is the subscription service the microblogging site provides and includes its much sought-after 'verified badge'. Twitter's yearly new plan will let users save some extra bucks.

Under this plan, users can subscribe to the service at an annual price of $84. It is to be noted that a monthly subscription costs $8 on the web and $11 on Apple devices.

Twitter Blue Subscription Service Annual Plan Available in These Countries

The annual plan launched by Twitter is available in select countries including the United States. Other countries where users can subscribe to this plan are Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. 

There have been several changes at the organisational level ever since billionaire Elong Musk took over Twitter for $44 billion last year. Among the major changes are new subscription plans. 

The Twitter blue check has been one of the sought-after features for users of the microblogging site. It was initially reserved for famous personalities, journalists and other public figures. However, now it is available for everyone who wants to pay for the subscriptions.

Meanwhile, Twitter is auctioning office furniture and professional kitchen equipment from its San Francisco offices. This comes after the company laid off several employees and fell behind on rent and contract obligations. 

Musk bought Twitter for USD 44 billion in October and the company is on the hook for about USD 1 billion a year in interest payments from the deal. Most of Musk's wealth is tied to his ownership of Tesla shares, which have lost more than 40% of their value since he took ownership of Twitter in late October.
