Meta is launching Threads: the situation of the competition
Threads, the Twitter rival developed by Meta, is already available for pre-order on the software Store. While currently exclusive to iOS users, an app listing on Google Play indicates that Threads will also be made available to Android users in the near future. Although a website for the service exists, it currently lacks a login page or other crucial information.
Interestingly, the official name of Meta’s Twitter rival is “Threads, an Instagram app.” From the app pictures, it is evident that users will be able to seamlessly join Threads using their existing Instagram accounts, with their username, followers, and other account information carried over effortlessly. Described as “Instagram’s text-based conversation app,” Threads offers a similar user experience to its photo-centric counterpart.
Within Threads, users can engage with posts through familiar interactions such as liking, commenting, reposting, and sharing. Additionally, the platform introduces the concept of threads, allowing for more extensive user participation and conversation. Users will also have the option to include photographs in their posts, bridging the gap between text-based and visual content. Notably, Threads is said to utilize ActivityPub, a decentralized social media platform similar to Mastodon, further emphasizing its commitment to user engagement and interaction.
With the imminent launch of Threads, social media enthusiasts can expect a new contender in the realm of online conversations and interactions. Meta’s entry into this space will undoubtedly bring competition and innovation, enticing users to explore new features and possibilities. As the launch date approaches, keep an eye out for further updates and announcements from Meta, and get ready to experience the unique blend of Instagram and text-based conversations on Threads.
