Outstanding! It would work as a single noun pile without the 'in' as well. Then there might be space to say 'tweet'
I was wondering if removing the "in" would damage the fearful symmetry, but I kind of like the purity of the intact noun pile.
I think it'd be fine without: beginners can always mentally append "There is a ..." to the start if feeling uncertain
