Threads is a new social media app that launched on July 5, 2023, created by Meta, parent company of the renowned social media apps Facebook and Instagram. Threads is like Twitter, featuring a feed of text-based posts with a 500-character limit, that users can comment on, like, and share – encouraging real-time conversations. Threads also allows users to upload photos and videos to the feed.
Threads is off to an impressive start, receiving more than 100 million sign-ups in less than a week. “The vision for Threads is to create an option and friendly public space for conversation,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Threads post following the launch. “We hope to take what Instagram does best and create a new experience around text, ideas, and discussing what’s on your mind.”
