How to Create a Twitter Thread
The simplest way to create a Twitter thread is to publish a tweet, then reply directly to it the same way you would reply to a tweet written by someone else. After the second tweet is published, reply to it with a third tweet and continue until your thread is finished. While easy to use, one big problem with this method is your followers can begin replying to your tweets as each is published, before your entire thread is finished. This can cause some unintended miscommunication and confusion, as people may begin asking questions about something you intend to add to the thread, but haven’t had a chance to write yet. One way to avoid such a situation is to use Twitter’s built-in thread feature, which lets you compose an entire Twitter thread of numerous tweets that can be published at once. This Twitter thread tool is built into the Twitter website and apps. Here’s how to use it.
Are Twitter Threads and Tweetstorms the Same Thing?
Twitter threads and tweetstorms can be the same thing, but not always. A tweetstorm is when someone posts numerous tweets in quick succession. If these tweets are replies to one another, they would also be called a thread since the reply function would link them together. This isn’t always the case, though, and many tweetstorms simply consist of individual tweets with no connection to each other or any connecting context. The phrase “tweetstorm” can also be used to describe multiple Twitter users tweeting about the same topic, but this usage has become a bit old fashioned.
