You can just tweet by opening the compose screen and assigning a topic. Under the hood, Tweetbot will find existing tweets belonging to a topic, it&rsquo;ll fetch the latest tweet from that group, and it&rsquo;ll send the new tweet as a reply to it. It even takes care of automatically stripping your username at the beginning of the tweet. Everything happens behind the scenes. You don&rsquo;t have to manage any of it, and you&rsquo;ll end up with a series of threaded tweets that&rsquo;s really a string of messages in reply to each other. It&rsquo;s much simpler and faster than creating a tweetstorm by replying to yourself. It feels like a native Twitter feature.<\/p>\n<p>It gets better if you decide to publish a topic as a collection. Until today, Tweetbot had no way to display Twitter Collections, let alone create new ones. Twitter itself doesn&rsquo;t support adding tweets to collections on its iOS app &#8211; you&rsquo;ll have to use Tweetdeck. With Tweetbot 4.3, Tapbots added support for the Collection API to add tweets from a topic into a collection. Ironically, Tweetbot has a better chance at making collections more widely used than Twitter&rsquo;s own iOS apps.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federico Viticci: Here&rsquo;s how Tapbots turned a hacky workaround into an elegant option: you don&rsquo;t have to actually reply to yourself, remove your username, or chain tweets every time.
