Local South African developer curates Twitter stories in a self-developed Android app A local Pretoria university BSc computer science graduate has created an app to make it quick and easy for Twitter users to read, write and share threads on the social media platform. 'Threads' on Twitter are a series of tweets by the same user that relate to the same theme or story. Users often use threads when what they want to say on Twitter exceeds the 140-character limit imposed by the platform. Full stack developer Kgothatso Ngako (23) says the idea for 'Thread Tweets' came about when he realised how many people were making use of threads on Twitter (see how it is done at http://ift.tt/2o8RiDX). Threads can reach any length and commonly have up to 10 separate tweets in one. Ngako created the app from the ground up, investing his own time and money. The Android app is in beta testing and will be launched officially next week with a live poetry competition. See more detail at http://ift.tt/2oi1HdA
