Mark Zuckerberg launched his new app Threads, like a bomb tossed in The Nerd Wars between Zuck and Elon Musk. Just more fuel to the fire till Zuck and Elon fight irl like men (hopefully) in The Roman Colosseum.
NYT- After months of speculation and secrecy, Mark Zuckerberg’s long-rumored competitor app to Twitter is here. The new app, Threads, was unveiled on Wednesday as a companion to Instagram, the popular photo-sharing network that Mr. Zuckerberg’s company, Meta, bought more than a decade ago. If Instagram executives get their way, Threads will also replace rival Twitter, with some techies referring to it as a “Twitter killer.”
Threads looks nearly identical to Twitter in many ways. Users can post mostly text-based messages to a scrolling feed, where people who follow them and whom they follow can reply. People can also post photos or video to the app.
Zuck explains the differences between his "Twitter Killer" app compared to the other apps that tried to take the blue bird down.
I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will. ~ Zuckerberg
In addition, Zuck proceeded to log into his old Twitter account and tweet for the first time in 11 years with Elon's favorite, a classic dank meme.
As Zuck and Elon train for their cage fight, we recommend epic savings on the training gear they'll need to prepare like Under Armor, mouthguards, and ice wraps for recovery. 😉
