How to create a thread-based tweetstrom

Twitter recently extended the number of characters you can use in a tweet from

140 to 280,but sometimes you need even more room to make your point.

One way to do this is to create a thread by continuing to reply to your own tweet until you’ve got everything off your chest. The main problem with this, however,is that other people replying to your tweets will interrupt the sequence, making your train of thought difficult to follow.

To help,Twitter has introduced an official ‘threads’feature which keeps these tweets together,thereby making them easier to read as a whole.

It has done this by adding a plus(+) button when ever you start a new tweet. Selecting this opens up another tweet-composing box, allowing you to carry on typing. When your each the end of that box,

you can select+again and continue. Once you’re ready, simply press Tweet All and each post will be uploaded at the same time. This cuts out the hassle of reading

a tweet and having to wait while the person composing it writes his or her follow-up. It also means people only need to select Show This Thread to see everything you’ve just tweeted.
