Threads, Meta’s text-based app seemingly built to rival Twitter, is live. The app, billed as the text version of Meta’s photo-sharing platform Instagram, became available Wednesday night.
Bluesky, the internet's hottest members-only spot at the moment, feels a bit like an exclusive club, populated by some Very Online folks, popular Twitter characters, and fed up ex-users of the Elon Musk-owned platform.Threads is now available for download in Apple and Google Android app stores for people in more than 100 countries.
While this may receive some pushback, VP and research director at Forrester Mike Proulx said making Threads an extension of Instagram was a smart move on Meta's part. In early replies on Threads, Zuckerberg said making the app "a friendly place" will be a key to success — adding that that was "one reason why Twitter never succeeded as much as I think it should have, and we want to do it differently."
