A new feature allowing consumers to blend up to four media elements into a single tweet, regardless of format, is being tested with select accounts for a short period.”

“People will be able to express themselves more creatively on Twitter beyond 280 characters by combining these multiple media forms.”

There is an ability to add, remove, and change the order of numerous images and videos attached to a tweet, similar to the current technique of attaching multiple photos.
