On: Forget Twitter Threads; Write a Blog Post Instead

[kapral18]

Funny how my experience is the complete opposite. I perceive twitter threads as a superior format of consuming reading content.

- it's chunked, which forces the writer to formulate more structured thought nuggets and keep the reader engaged

- it allows you to share specific portion of the content that you like instead of sharing a blog that people ignore because they never read past the intro

- instead of bashing publishing on twitter threads, I think we should focus on developing tools that allow to convert and reshare your (I don't mean your but you get the idea) long read blog that nobody reads into twitter threads

I have never skipped a thread on twitter. The longer the better and more engaging.

I strongly believe that format is superior to most other reading formats and it aligns really well with our biological focus rhythms

This. Wadsworth constant applies to prose and Twitter makes long preambles too awkward to use and so they don't.
