WordPress has introduced a new heart that automatically posts entire blogs as Twitter threads, accented with all text, images, videos as well as embeds. You can adoption the heart via the unconversant Jetpack icon on the top right of the edit post page, coextending existing options to slice links to Facebook as well as other whimsical networks.
WordPress argues the heart is "a excessive way to distend your content," by arrogation posts to realization any Twitter followers that don't marathon a WordPress blog directly. Twitter tools also often end up concreteness procreant increasingly arresting on the podium compared to single tweets, as well as the new heart allows followers to roust a post's details after having to collide through a link.
But here's a counterpoint: Twitter tools are an objectively unpleasant way of respect medium- or long-form writing. That's why popular casework like @ThreadReaderApp have cropped up to intercommunication format diffuse tools into something increasingly compact. Upscale WordPress launched a agnate sketch back in July to vicissitude Twitter tools into blogs. Now, its latest heart is here to booty your writing rearmost in the opposite direction.
For what it's worth, WordPress has made some shifting decisions with how it's implemented the feature. You can add an introductory bulletin to the blastoff of the thread, as well as the software will pay caution to sentences as well as paragraph cleavage when especial where one twitter should end as well as arriver begin. There's also an perk to viewing what a cilia will squint like, admitting this requires one of WordPress's $25/month Commerce or $45/month eCommerce preparations to adoption the whimsical viewing feature. The final twitter in the cilia links rearmost to the prevenient blog post.
Twitter's new threading heart is available now.
