Twitter shares close lower on Tuesday, company facilitates tweet thread making

According to a statement by Twitter Inc (TWTR) on Tuesday, the addition of two buttons will make it easier for users to view and add new tweets on the same topic to already existing ones. This way Twitter users who stitch tweets together, an activity known as thread making, will no longer have to respond to prior tweets in order to tell a longer story.

Twitter shares closed lower for the second time in the past six trading sessions on Tuesday. It has also been the steepest daily loss since November 29th. The stock went down 1.81% ($0.40) to $21.65, with the intraday high and the intraday low being at $22.24 and $21.63 respectively.

For the entire past year, Twitter shares plummeted 29.56%. However, the stock has rebounded 32.82% so far in 2017.

Meanwhile, it was in November, when the character limit for tweets was increased to 280 from 140 previously, as part of a major shift that Twitter is attempting to make.
