@rrhoover Yup. You can create collections of tweets. It's a native experience but AFAIK the only way to do so is by using TweetDeck (or using the beta API)
Nice! Also, there was this: http://pmarcatweetsasblogposts.t..., but it appears to be inactive now.
Love your hacks, @yvoschaap! :)
Would be great if you can setup a newsletter to have tweetstorms emailed out as they're published on your site.
@yvoschaap awesome! Thanks for doing this. I think you'll be interested in this: http://www.datafox.co/blog/marc-...
Initially, I tried summarizing @pmarca's entire talk @stanford with multi tweets - it got ridiculous - so opted for only the outline instead. Brought out his message with images...
Latest added feature: YO "TWEETSTORM" to get a YO when an @pmarca tweetstorm starts...
@GeoffreyWeg if this hunt reaches 100 points or leads to a @pmarca link tweet I'll add that.
I've been following @pmarca on twitter for a while, and his twitter essays (1/12) are annoying to follow using twitter's own stream view.
So grabbed the twitter API, and created this product hack which groups his tweets, and presents it as a short essay.
It tags it by topic, and includes any relevant reactions.

@GeoffreyWeg just added the email notification so you won't miss any future storms. 
@netspencer a combination: the tweets which are tagged like 1/12 are live (hooked into the Streaming API), but his reactions to other I approve manually, because not always relevant...
edit; so identifying is completely automated, only the selection of relevant reactions is manual.
@rrhoover, looked into her account (crawled her stream) but she seems to not use the "reply to" feature, nor does she use any textual hints (1/12), making it hard to group correctly.
@blakeir Yes I have that link featured in the footer. Also the twitter API only allows to go back 3,200 tweets, which blocks me from going further back in time. So where they stopped, I continue.
@yvoschaap Taming the firehose with very neat longform friendly UI. If commoditized as product one day it could compete with storify for curating thematic tweets.
@yvoschaap this is really cool. one of the things that make tweetstorms so interesting is that each tweet is its own self-contained thought, even though it's part of a larger storm. As a result, people start separate comment threads responding to a specific tweet within the storm. It would be interesting to see those different branches reflected somehow in your product.
@fredwilson talks about this a bit in tweet #3 of his tweetstorm. Incidentally, I just googled to find a link to it and @jschauma has already turned it into a collection: https://twitter.com/jschauma/tim...
@MattHartman I've looked at ways on how to visually present those deeper level discussion threads, but that gets messy very quickly.
Agree that there is value in those threads, so I might try a way (and update here when I have something to show).
Is this done automatically? Or do you manually have to identify new tweet storms?
