It hadn’t been long since Twitter had expanded their character count to 280 characters, but it seemed that the users were not much contented. That’s when the modish novel feature: Multi-Tweet Threads (named as “threading”), came into picture. As the company rightly quotes in their blog post, Threading is predominantly introduced for people who want to serialize a long story or thought, or even to provide constant commentary on an event or topic. Threads are connected, yet individual elements that offer a creative way to present your train of thoughts satisfactorily. So, if you are looking to take a shift from short limited tweets to long-form tweeting, you are at the right place. Read on to know how to use the new threading feature at its best! CONTENTS 1. How to create your TweetStorm? 2. How to spot a Thread? 1. How to create your TweetStorm? Start your first Tweet as regular, from the Tweet icon and then hit the plus button in the lower right corner of the composer. This opens up a new area within, where you’ll have another 280 characters to express your thoughts. You can even add any media element – like images, videos, GIFs, and more – to any individual tweet in the thread. Continue adding threads in the same way till you have adequately expressed yourself, i.e. up to 25 entries as that’s currently the limit imposed in a single thread. When your thread is finished hit the “tweet” button and the entire TweetStorm will be posted at once. You can even create a threaded tweet to your already published tweet with the new “Add another Tweet” button and then repeating the same steps as above. 2. How to spot a Thread? The feature release blog post suggests that a string from somebody with a few tweets will show up in your timeline connected by a line to recognize it, however when there are at least four tweets, the thread is shortened. So, to spot a thread in midst of hundreds and thousands of tweets in your timeline, Twitter has added a visible label “Show this thread” to the feature. On clicking the label, the thread expands to longer tweetstorms displaying all the entries included within it. Wrapping up Twitter’s threading feature has gained mixed reviews from the users. On one side, people are admiring the ease to express their thoughts, and on the other side critics are slamming it on being parallel to a blog post. In this article, I have explained the multi-tweet threading feature to the point. So, feel free to try the latest update and do let me know your views on the same. You can also tweet your opinions and maybe create a Tweetstorm of your own 😉 Stick around for more updates!
