On November 7, 2017, Twitter, the world’s most popular online social networking service, expanded the traditional 140-character tweet limit to 280 characters to make it easier for people to fit what they are thinking into a Tweet. Despite Twitter’s new character limit of 280, tweetstorms, a series of connected tweets, remained in use. On December 12, 2017, Twitter, the micro-blogging site with 330 million monthly active users, officially introduced an easier way to Tweet a thread. The new feature called threads allows people to more easily post tweetstorms.
