Twitter Threads makes it easy for users to stitch lots of tweets together

Some users don't believe that such lengthy posts belong on the micro-blogging site

Twitter has made it easier to thread tweets.

The company has added an “Add Another Tweet” button to the composer, which you can click or tap to create a thread.

If you can’t access it yet, it shouldn’t be long before it starts showing up.

That’s because Twitter is introducing the feature to iOS, Android and Twitter.com as part of an update that will roll out over the coming weeks.

Threads can be annoying, as they’re sometimes hard to follow, and many Twitter users don't believe that such lengthy posts belong on the micro-blogging site.

They can be informative though, especially for users who are providing commentary on an unfolding event.

The company describes threading as “an innovative way to present a train of thought, made up of connected but individual elements”.

“Now, hundreds of thousands of threads are Tweeted every day!” Twitter wrote in a blog post. “But this 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.

“That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re making it simpler to thread Tweets together, and to find threads, so it’s easier to express yourself on Twitter and stay informed.

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. You can continue adding more Tweets to your published thread at any time with the new ‘Add another Tweet’ button.”

The site has also made it easier to spot a thread, with the introduction of a “Show this thread” label.
