- smsm42 8y agoIt would be much better as a once-piece article. I am still at loss at why people use twitter to write long forms. I mean, you know it's going to be long. Put it on Medium (or whatever, I don't care where it is) and if you need Twitter audience, post a link. Yes, I know threaders exist. But that's solving a problem that shouldn't have existed at the first place. OTOH, in my eyes, posts like that is pretty much the only redeeming feature Twitter have left by now...
- buboard 8y ago> be much better as a once-piece article Not really. I hate articles where people ramble on and go full-dostoyevski instead of getting to the point.
- smsm42 8y agoYou don't have to ramble. Just putting all the tweeted content into one post would be fine. Not having to split your post into 9000 tweets doesn't mean you can't write the same concise way.
- eridius 8y agoIt's easy to retweet a thread, and to start reading a retweeted thread because it's right there in Twitter. Reading an article from a tweeted link is a bigger effort investment. Also, Twitter threads lend itself to stream-of-consciousness style of writing. Putting together an actual article will involve drafting and editing and be more work.
