Twitter Has Built A Feature That Would Make Tweetstorms Easier To Deploy

Composing a Tweetstorm — or a string of Tweets expressing a larger idea and that serves to circumvent Twitter’s 140-character limit — can be a bit of a headache, given that users must type the messages out as replies to their own Tweets in real-time.

But that could soon be a thing of the past, reports The Next Web, as Twitter is reportedly developing a feature that would let users draft a Tweetstorm in its entirety before pushing send — whereupon the messages would publish as one seamless thread. The feature was found within the Android

app by a developer — though it is not yet live on Twitter, nor is it being actively piloted among users.

According to screenshots, the Tweetstorm composer looks to automatically split up a block of text into separate Tweets, and then adds a number count at the end of each Tweet to make it easier for users to follow along chronologically. See for yourself below:
