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

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. 🐥

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)?

@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 🙈

@rrhoover @stammy Any chance this feature will be made available via the API for third party clients?

Oh cool, it's live now. https://twitter.com/kicksopenmin... Love the Add Another Tweet button

About time! I think it will help make twitter more readable / easier to follow especially for users accustomed messaging platforms.

So, what's the point of a character limit then?

That only took... when did @pmarca join twitter again?

As cool as this is, I'm still waiting for Twitter to allow users to edit Tweets in some way.
Aaron Myers
Great job @stammy
Stephen Olmstead
Nice job folks- this seems like a smart implementation on UX side of things.
Ruben Martinez Jr.
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
Seth Williams
Well done, Twitter! This makes so much sense. Love it!
@Bernardamus
Do we really need this feature now that they already killed the trademark 140 ch limit? Mmmmm....
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...

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.

Paul Stamatiou
We have a web experience as well.. still rolling out. More info here: https://twitter.com/Stammy/statu...
Arun
Okay, @twitter. This is cool. When are you making this available on the web though?

This will make things easier.

Well now let the threads flow.

Pros:

They achieved the thread we've been waiting for

Cons:

None yet.

When will edit functionality be added? I'm begging you.
