"ZUCKERBERG" tweeted after good 11 years and what…

"Threads" is an app connected with Instagram which lets it's users do "Threading" which previously was "Tweeting" on Twitter owned by, Musk.

Instagram Threads has arrived amid controversial changes on Twitter, potentially prompting users to switch platforms. Meta aims to leverage Instagram's popularity for short-form content sharing. Threads has quickly gained millions of followers, including notable brands and individuals. While still evolving, Threads is adopting Twitter features for Instagram users, offering unique advantages. However, it is not a direct replacement for Twitter. The platforms differ in usage and purpose.

Let's explore the exciting features of this Meta-powered app and its potential impact on social media.

  • Seamless Migration and Empowering Creators:

Threads allows creators to bring their Instagram followers to the new platform effortlessly. By leveraging the user data from Instagram, Threads seamlessly transfers the audience, giving creators the power to connect with their followers across platforms. This exciting cross-platform audience ownership allows creators to expand their reach beyond a single social media network.


  • Twitter vs Threads

Account Management: Threads requires an Instagram login and account deletion is tied to deleting Instagram. Twitter is independent.

Availability: Threads is app-only, while Twitter has website and app versions.

Price: Threads is free, while Twitter offers premium features with a subscription fee.

Verification: Threads verification carries over from Instagram, Twitter has a more complex verification process.

Text Posts: Threads allows 500 characters, Twitter limits to 280 characters.

Multimedia Posts: Threads allows more images/videos per post, while Twitter limits to four per tweet.

Content: Threads offers a singular feed, similar to Instagram, while Twitter allows more control over feed curation.

Messaging: Twitter has in-app messaging, while Threads lacks in-app messaging but can be reached via Instagram DMs.


  • Navigating Threads Thoughtfully:

When using Threads, it's essential to exercise caution and be mindful of a few key aspects. Remember that once a post is shared, it cannot be edited, so it's important to think before posting to avoid any potential controversies. Additionally, all replies and comments are public, shaping your online presence. Show kindness and empathy in your interactions, as the world is watching and forming impressions based on your actions.


  • The Quirky Dilemma:

A unique aspect of Threads is that deleting your Threads profile requires deleting your entire Instagram account. While the app's rapid adoption is captivating, this requirement poses a dilemma for users who want to disengage from Threads without losing their Instagram presence. It's important to carefully weigh the options and make an informed decision that aligns with your priorities.


  • The Future of Threads:

Opinions on the future of Threads vary, with enthusiasts and sceptics debating its long-term success. Some argue that integrating Threads with Instagram may not have been the optimal choice due to their inherent differences. Twitter users, initially drawn to Threads as an alternative, may eventually return to Twitter's familiar environment. Similarly, Instagram users driven by FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) may find Threads' text-focused space less appealing and return to their visual haven. The future of Threads depends on Meta's ability to adapt and introduce updates that resonate with the evolving needs of users.

The tug-off war between the T-Bird and Threads is keeping everyone on the edge. But a question that crosses our mind is that Twitter’s website has been a site of intellectual discussions and heated debates before Apple launched their first IPhone1

Whereas Instagram is majorly used by creators for influential and entertainment purposes. Would threads be a platform where people can really push out their intellectual views on Twitter? Can you picture Narendra Modi, “Threading” about recent issues? This part of this Meta platform is in a bit of a grey area.


While some are bashing the bluebird others are predicting near future updates by Meta and some are confident that this new update is just a heat wave and the interest will wash off. Comment your thoughts on our recent thread.

We’ll see you on the Meta-Side!
