Twitter has built a way for people to string tweets together in a sequence that many users would recognize as a “tweetstorm.” Users writing tweets can now link messages, which Twitter for its part calls “threading,” by clicking a plus sign that adds another post to the series.
“Hundreds of thousands of threads are Tweeted every day,” said Sasank Reddy, product manager at Twitter, in a blog post on Tuesday. “But this method of Tweeting, while effective and popular, can be tricky for some to create and it’s often tough to read or discover all the Tweets in a thread.”
