Twitter Threads - Twitter introduces a built-in Tweetstorm feature ⚡️

by

Twitter launched it's own Tweetstorm feature! They made it easy to create a thread by adding a plus button in the composer, so you can connect your thoughts and publish your threaded Tweets all at the same time. 🐥

@nivo0o0 Heads up this animated gif randomly freezes the PH iOS app for me every few seconds

Great execution on the UX, @stammy and team. I'm curious what your overall goal is with this feature. E.g. to make it easier for people to tweetstorm? Encourage people to tweet more (that might not already be tweetstrorming)?
Diego Guadarrama
@stammy @rrhoover easier execution, better structure, likelier impeachment?

@rrhoover As an emerging and not prevalent behavior on the platform we wanted to first and foremost make them easier to read, then simplify the creation and make it less likely that folks will improperly thread/inadvertently branch. Nothing quite as painful as seeing a thread.. that was not threaded 🙈
Taylor Edmiston
@rrhoover @stammy Any chance this feature will be made available via the API for third party clients?

Can I edit the Tweetstorm yet tho
Arun
@rubencodes First step is editing individual tweets.
Oli Edis
@rubencodes We ask for the ability to edit Tweets and Twitter instead give you a way to better make Tweetstorms
Stephen Johnston
So, what's the point of a character limit then?
Taylor Edmiston
@glstephen I think of the length limit like: Tweet ~= paragraph. Tweetstorm ~= blog post.

Well now let the threads flow.

Pros:

They achieved the thread we've been waiting for

Cons:

None yet.

ShimomiAizo
Completely agree! This is the Thread feature that I've been waiting for so long
Stephen Olmstead
Nice job folks- this seems like a smart implementation on UX side of things.
Philip Arthur Moore
When will edit functionality be added? I'm begging you.

Works very well one iOS and Android but no support on the Twitter WUI which is disappointing.

Pros:

Thread posting has become a reality for iOS and Android.

Cons:

Thread posting has not become a reality for web.

Something I was looking for long time. Would like to try it soon.

Pros:

Allows to keep all related tweets in one place

Cons:

Yet to try it out

Anushka Sharma

That's all I got for now.

Pros:

This is nice feature coupled with the increase in characters per tweet and the potential of this is great.

Cons:

As tweets post in chronological order, it seems odd to me that when you create a thread you have to read from the bottom up on a profile

That only took... when did @pmarca join twitter again?
eboy
is it live now?
Taylor Edmiston
@eboy I'm not seeing it on the iOS or web apps. No update available in iOS App Store yet. Sounds like it might be a while: "We’re rolling out these updates to everyone on iOS, Android, and Twitter.com in the coming weeks."

Taylor Edmiston
@eboy Uh, well actually, they just started showing up for me on web. (+) next to tweet button. https://twitter.com/kicksopenmin...
Taylor Edmiston
Oh cool, it's live now. https://twitter.com/kicksopenmin... Love the Add Another Tweet button
Oli Edis
As cool as this is, I'm still waiting for Twitter to allow users to edit Tweets in some way.
Heidi Helen Pilypas
This will make things easier.
