Although Twitter has increased its character limit to 280 characters, the need of tweetstorm hasn’t eliminated. This could add a supporting hand for the people who tweet more than 280 characters, as this will connect the tweets together and each tweet stands alone, which means it can be retweeted, favorited, etc on an individual basis.

  2. Write a tweet.
