tweetstorms
Rapid-fire thread outbursts
A tweetstorm is a rapid series of connected tweets posted in quick succession, typically numbered, allowing someone to develop an argument or tell a story that exceeds a single tweet's character limit: He went on a tweetstorm about the new policy.
The term often implies passionate or urgent expression, sometimes verging on rant.
