Forget Twitter threads and write a blog post instead (2021)


All of the kool kids in Twitter land seem to be jumping on the bandwagon of a very annoying craze. Twitter threads. Please stop; write a blog post instead

Surely a much better way of sharing long-form content would be to write a single coherent piece on a blog, then post a link to it on Twitter so your followers can read it in its entirety. Yeah, I get it, most people don't have a blog, but it's super simple to start your one, or use a hosted provider, like WordPress. It would be easier for people to consume, they can still post it on Twitter, and it has the added benefit of potentially creating a whole new audience for the creator.
