X Elevates Content Curation With History Tab Innovation

Streamlined Content Access

X has introduced a new History tab designed to centralize saved and previously viewed content within the platform. The feature combines bookmarks, likes, videos and articles into a single interface aimed at making content easier to revisit and organise. Initially launching on iOS, the update replaces the previous Bookmarks button in the left-side mobile menu.

Enhanced Organization And Personalization

The History tab separates content into four categories: bookmarks, likes, videos and articles. While bookmarks and likes reflect content users intentionally save or engage with, the videos and articles sections automatically track viewed material within the platform. Nikitia Bier said the feature is designed to keep saved and viewed content private while improving navigation and accessibility.

A Strategic Pivot For Content Consumption

The update also reflects X’s broader effort to position itself as a more comprehensive content and information platform. By consolidating previously separate features into one section, the company is expanding beyond short-form social interaction toward a more personalised content consumption experience. The redesign may also encourage greater use of X’s long-form article format, which the platform has increasingly promoted for creators, publishers and businesses.

Opportunities For Creators And Publishers

The updated History tab emerges at a time when traditional referral traffic from giants like Facebook and Google is waning due to evolving algorithms and AI-driven experiences. X is leveraging this trend as an opportunity to attract publishers and content creators by offering built-in distribution and discovery tools. This strategic evolution not only benefits users by making content easier to track and revisit, but also incentivizes high-quality, long-form contributions directly on the platform.

Keve Welcomes New Cyprus Business Development Organisation

The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Keve) has welcomed Parliament’s unanimous approval of legislation establishing the Cyprus Business Development Organisation, describing it as a major step toward improving access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises, startups and self-employed professionals.

Expanding Access To Finance

The legislation creates a new public body aimed at addressing financing gaps by supporting businesses that struggle to secure funding through traditional channels.

According to Keve, the initiative could strengthen entrepreneurship, boost competitiveness and support Cyprus’ green and digital transition. The chamber has long argued that SMEs rely too heavily on bank financing, limiting investment, expansion and innovation.

Keve Calls For Swift Implementation

Keve said it helped shape the legislation through the consultation process and called for the organisation to become operational as quickly as possible. It also pledged to continue working with the Finance Ministry and the organisation’s management to support implementation.

How The Organisation Will Operate

Approved by Parliament on Tuesday, the legislation establishes Cyprus’ national business development body under the supervision of the Finance Minister, while the Central Bank of Cyprus will oversee anti-money laundering compliance.

The organisation will design financing programmes, provide loans and conduct studies to identify weaknesses in the financing market.

Cyprus will provide €60 million in initial capital. Over time, the body will also be able to raise funding from European and international institutions and benefit from state guarantees linked to approved strategic priorities.

Recovery Plan Milestone

Creation of the organisation is one of the final milestones under Cyprus’ Recovery and Resilience Plan and is required for the country to receive the plan’s ninth and final payment. Appointment of the board of directors remains the last outstanding step.

Before approving the bill, the Finance Ministry revised the draft following consultations with MPs and stakeholders. The changes removed provisions allowing the organisation to establish companies and narrowed the list of eligible beneficiaries by excluding small mid-cap companies.

Lawmakers also strengthened governance rules by introducing stricter board suitability requirements, conflict-of-interest safeguards, enhanced reporting obligations and borrowing limits. A seven-member board appointed by the Cabinet will oversee the organisation, while a transitional board will serve for two years until it becomes fully operational.
