Twitter confirms it’s testing a tweetstorm feature

Twitter confirms it’s testing a feature that allows users to more easily create “tweetstorms” – those series of connected tweets that have grown to be a popular workaround for Twitter’s character count limitations. The feature, which was recently spotted in the wild, offers a new interface for composing tweets, where individual tweetstorm entries can be written one-by-one then published to Twitter in a staggered fashion with a press of a “Tweet All” button.

The existence of a tweetstorm feature was first spotted in the Twitter app’s code in September, which was a hint of things to come. At the time, Twitter declined to comment on its plans for the feature or say if it would ever launch publicly.

Today, the blog Android Police reported the tweetstorm interface was popping up for some users of the Android alpha app, but said it wasn’t sure about the details surrounding the tests.
