Nowadays, we all operate on several different social media platforms, and each of them has its own distinct characteristics that draw in particular users.
But using many different platforms can be difficult without integration. Nowadays, integrating different platforms can be facilitated manually or systematically.
Luckily for you, Hypefury has created a tool to combine the features of both Twitter and LinkedIn, allowing you to spend less time copying and pasting your posts across platforms!
In this piece, you will learn all about this amazing Hypefury feature, as well as the individualistic characteristics of Twitter threads and LinkedIn carousels and why they fit so well together.
Twitter threads
Long ago, Twitter used to be just about sharing short text messages with the world. Your Twitter feed was a series of such disconnected messages; only other people’s replies would create a chain of messages.
It’s quite different now!
Twitter threads have become all the rage, and for good reason.
They are a creative and easier way to share long-form content on Twitter, a platform typically all about short, digestible content.
Threads can be about sharing high-value tweets, giving insightful commentary on current affairs or trending topics in your niche, or displaying your expertise on industry topics. Writing good threads requires sharing research and experience-backed information that has real value.
Threads are also meant to display your unique style of thought and writing – they can allow you to better show your personality online! It’s a way to let everyone know what ideas you like, what interests you and what you’re good at, in an inviting format.
Every day on Twitter, users in the know are using Twitter threads to build their audience, create opportunities for themselves, expand their networks and signal to like-minded individuals that they’re up for getting together and doing amazing things!
If you’re not already using Twitter threads as part of your online strategy, what are you waiting for?
The LinkedIn carousel
The LinkedIn platform used to be pretty basic, but now offers a creative format for sharing content that is similar to Twitter threads.
LinkedIn now offers the carousel post feature, with enables users to create slideshows of presentations, documents and pictures that people can scroll through without leaving the platform.
The carousel is a succession of multiple images, accompanied by text, which appear on the timeline as a single post. It allows you to transform your content from static text to stand-out designs and visuals – which is much more appealing!
In a LinkedIn carousel, your content can be more interactive and show your personality much better than a regular post can!
Similarities Between an X/Twitter Thread and a LinkedIn Carousel?
They are more engaging
The main similarity between these two formats is how much more engaging and fun they are than regular posts, whether on Twitter or on LinkedIn.
They make information sharing more attractive, original, interactive and visually stimulating!
In addition, Twitter threads and LinkedIn carousels share two more characteristics that make them both equally appealing.
They make the user stop scrolling
Since a thread or a carousel is clearly different from a regular post on either platform, they are effective formats to make your audience stop scrolling and pay attention to your post, even if just for a few seconds.
They’re much more eye-catching, which means they are more worth the extra effort it takes to make them!
The use of bundling
The content format of threads and carousels is all about grouping together long-form information, and splitting it into bite-size pieces that are easy to consume and to share.
Gathering content in that way is kind of like writing a book instead of a bunch of separate notes: it keeps everything tidy and more readable!
Turning Twitter threads into LinkedIn carousels
X/Twitter threads and LinkedIn carousels are much similar. Threads are collection of tweets while carousels are collection of images. Both are collections of content.
One logical question that comes into many creators’ minds is “Is it possible to turn an X/Twitter thread into a LinkedIn carousel?“
The answer is yes, it’s possible to turn a thread into a LinkedIn carousel.

Audience-first approach
The LinkedIn carousel is also an opportunity to showcase your community! For example, by integrating a subscriber, a customer or a partner and telling their story in your post. Of course, whatever you do must be relevant and related to what you want to highlight. You can also promote one or more employees so as to send a very positive and accessible image.
For instance, if you’ve written a Twitter thread about an amazing experience you’ve had providing your services to a customer, you can turn that into a LinkedIn carousel, to better spread the word about your skills and how collaborative your client was.
Storytelling in the form of a carousel allows you to capture your audience by reaching them through their feelings. Making them feel valuable allows them to gain trust in you and therefore convert them into new customers!
It makes your audience trust your expertise, creativity and innovation.
Showcase your professionalism
Turning a Twitter thread into a LinkedIn carousel will expose it to a more professional audience, which will be more interested in your aptitudes and services than your Twitter audience may be.
This means that you can reap more professional benefits from sharing your Twitter thread showcasing your expertise in your field, or your knowledge of a certain topic, when you put it on LinkedIn! A potential employer or client may see these knowledgable posts and be inclined to contact you.
Boost your LinkedIn page
