Kim Kardashian wants to be able to edit her tweets and Twitter's CEO agrees it's a great idea

Kim Kardashian's sphere of influence might be even bigger than we thought. 

A Twitter product feature she suggested actually elicited a response from cofounder and interim-CEO Jack Dorsey, who called it a "great idea."

Kardashian proposed that people should be able to edit their tweets for typos, so they wouldn't have to delete and re-post if they made a small error.

She said she emailed Twitter, but, naturally, tweeted about it as well.

Indeed, the feature does make sense and would be especially valuable for public figures with huge followings, like Kardashian, or organizations that post time-sensitive stories or event announcements. 

So, yes, great idea, though not exactly a new one.

Twitter employees reportedly told The Desk that they were working on an editing feature way back in 2013 and people have suggested it long before that.
