Why not put the text, plus pictures and whatever else (links?), into a blog posting, or just some HTML page with basic formatting? And then link to it with just the first Twitter post. Provide an RSS feed if you feel extra charitable (which is the way I enjoy most of the content related to this that I…
Actually the Twitter thread format is really innovative. For Twitter users it’s a new way to consume stories and the limitation of each tweet gives the opportunity to the writers to be concise and get to the point.
