1. THE RUN ON THOUGHT. This is the simplest kind of thread you can do: just think-out-loud into the container of a tweet, and when that tweet gets full, continue into the next tweet. It's basically transcribing your thoughts. Essay-ing on Twitter. Eg:https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1035971726062972928 …

Visakan Veerasamy @visakanvOddball confession: one of my first life-shaping experiences on the Internet was lying on a video game forum (Darkstone, Delphine Software). Somebody joked that they got “Helm of the Arse Gods”, and I lied and said I got it too. I was like... 8. Everyone cringed and laughed at meShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
(Writing essays on Twitter doesn't *really* make use of any of Twitter's unique features or elements. What it *does* do is incentivize you to containerize each thought into 240chars. Some people disregard this, and break their sentences across tweets. That's a bad practice, IMO.)

Agreed, from the beginning I tried writing each tweet in a thread so it had a shot at being RT'able individually, which tightens up the flow of the writing / thinking in a way I like.
