Meta officially launched Threads, the new social media app that is as an alternative to Twitter.
Threads is described as “Instagram’s text-based conversation app”. With the app, users can post “Threads” that other users can reply to, with Threads from followers showing up in a main timeline.
Meta is linking Threads to Instagram, which means Instagram usernames port over to Threads and Instagram users have the option to follow the same people they follow on Instagram.
Here is the official description:
“Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.”
Threads can be downloaded from the App Store for free. Follow me @larryfire
