Twitter acquires tweet thread compiler app, Threader

Twitter has bought Threader, an app that allows users to compile and distribute tweet threads in a more legible format by simply tweeting '@threader app compile' within a thread reply chain.

There are a number of programmes like this, including Thread Reader, but Twitter just added the same functionality to its Twitter Blue paid subscription option, which the Threader team assisted in the development.

It will be interesting to watch if Twitter will decide to shut off other thread compilation options and bots in order to encourage people to pay for Twitter Blue instead.
