Tweetstorm

What is a Tweetstorm?

A tweetstorm is a series of interconnected tweets, often used to convey a longer message or narrative that exceeds Twitter’s character limits (now 280 characters). Each tweet in the storm is numbered or uses a consistent thread marker (e.g., 1/5, 2/5, etc.) to indicate its place within the sequence. Tweetstorms are frequently used for news reporting, sharing in-depth analysis, opinions, or storytelling. For example, a journalist might use a tweetstorm to break down a complex political event, while a blogger could use it to share a long article in a digestible format. The effectiveness of a tweetstorm hinges on its clarity, conciseness, and engaging content.
