THREADS - IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH TWITTER HANGING BY JUST A THREAD?
threads - instagram’s new Twitter rival has arrived
It’s official: Instagram is unveiling its Threads app.
Meta Platforms Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch on July 5, 2023. He called the app “a new, separate space for real-time updates and public conversations.”
In other words, it’s after Twitter, which has been taking on a long line of strategic shifts we’ve all been party to observing ever since Elon Musk acquired the platform last year.
While Threads is built around text updates, it will not be limited to words. Ugh. I know, bummer right? You might be thinking? Sooo wait? Another Instagram? Yes. Essentially.
It will also support photos and videos up to five minutes long, per Instagram.
