New Delhi: Twitter Blue, which is the premium subscription service from the micro blogging site, is now live in the US and New Zealand. The feature will let Twitter users undo tweets, read news pieces without advertisements and also allow them to try out some features early. Twitter Blue subscription is now available for $2.99 per month and it aims to enhance the premium subscribers experience by offering better features and services.

"Twitter Blue launches today in the US with Ad-Free Articles. You can now get an ad-free experience on the WaPo, LA Times, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic and hundreds more. Your subscription directly funds the journalism you read," Tony Haile, Senior Director of Product at Twitter announced from his handle @arctictony late on Tuesday.

"On a personal note, I've spent the last ten years trying to find new ways to fund journalism. So I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as the most essential platform for news introduces new business models that directly fund great journalism," Haile added.

With this move, publishers will now know when a Twitter Blue user is visiting their website. According to the micro blogging site, a part of the revenue that it makes through Twitter Blue premium service will go to the publishers, but did not specify how much.

The company had earlier mentioned that a free version of Twitter is not going away, and never will. The subscription service is aimed to add enhanced and complementary features to the already existing Twitter experience for those who opt for it. Apart from the US and New Zealand, Twitter Blue is also available in Canada and Australia. In these regions, Twitter Blue is available for in-app purchase on Twitter for iOS and Android devices, or on twitter.com through the company's payment partner Stripe. 

"We’re exploring ways to make the Twitter experience next level—and Twitter Blue is just the beginning. This opt-in, paid monthly subscription offers exclusive access to premium features that let you customize your Twitter experience," the company wrote on its help page.
