If you're like most of us, you've probably spent a lot of time on social media over the past few years.
But if you're not, you may be missing out on what Entrepreneur calls "a new trend that aims to change the social media conversation for the better: threaded discussions."
In short, threads are "a departure from the traditional linear structure of social media conversations," the site explains.
Instead of a series of disconnected replies, threads "enable users to create and follow conversations organized around a central topic."
For example, if you're on Twitter and want to discuss climate change, you could start with a tweet on the topic, then " attach related tweets or replies to the root post, creating a connected conversation that revolves around the initial topic."
As TechCrunch explains, " replies and comments could easily get lost in the flood of information, making it challenging to understand the progression of a conversation.
Threads address this issue by visually organizing responses in a hierarchy."
There's even an app for that.

In the world of social enterprises, failure is a cringe-worthy moment nobody wants to talk about. But, social entrepreneurs can benefit from their failures.
