San Francisco Dec 13 (IANS) After increasing the character count in a tweet Twitter has found a new way to let people express themselves more by making it simple for them to string several tweets together.
"We ve 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 " Sasank Reddy Product Manager at Twitter wrote in a blog late on Tuesday.
"You can continue adding more tweets to your published thread at any time with the new Add another Tweet button. Additionally it s now simpler to spot a thread - we ve added an obvious Show this thread label " he said.
People creatively stitch tweets together to share more information or tell a longer story.
Since hundreds of thousands of threads are tweeted every day this traditional 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.
"But we know people also may want to serialise a longer story or thought or provide ongoing commentary on an event or topic. That s where this update to threads comes in " Reddy explained.
With the new feature it will be easy for users to thread tweets and find other threads -- to express themselves on Twitter and stay informed.
Few weeks ago Twitter expanded character count to make it easier for people to fit what they are thinking into a tweet.
Twitter will roll out these updates to everyone on iOS Android and Twitter.com in the coming weeks.
