Threads, Meta’s Twitter alternative, to launch July 6

Meta is expected to launch Threads, a “text-based conversation app,” under the Instagram brand, tomorrow (July 6).

What is Threads. According to the download page:

“Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things – or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.”

Why we care. Since Elon Musk bought the platform, Twitter has found new and exciting ways to upset many of its users and lose advertising revenue. Threads may be a platform for marketers and advertisers to watch – but ultimately wherever users go, the budgets and marketing investments will follow.

Admit one. You can sign up for the app already. To do so, go to Instagram search, type in “Threads” and you’ll see an “Admit One” ticket in the right side of the search box.

Advertising revenue

Clicking on that will take generate your ticket, which you can then click on to be notified when the app is available to download.

Not available in EU. One region where Threads won’t be launching is the EU. Meta has received multiple fines in the EU for violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

According to the Independent:

“Sources close to Meta said that the tech giant has refrained from rolling the service out in the EU because of what the company believes is a lack of clarity contained in the EU’s Digital Markets Act. Under the Act, companies such as Meta become “gatekeepers”, with restrictions on how they mingle users’ personal data.”

  1. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!

  2. Ищете надежного партнера для строительства автомойки? У нас есть качественные решения под ключ, чтобы сделать ваш проект прибыльным.

  3. This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  5. A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this issue, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people do not speak about such topics. To the next! All the best!!

  6. Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your site. You have some really great posts and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested. Thank you!

  7. I am really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog audience have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?

  8. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
