Threads

My thoughts on Meta's Twitter clone Threads.

Can Meta pull off?

  • Probably. To some degree.
  • But I don't see it ever becoming as big as something like Instagram.
  • Hard to imagine much of my non-tech savvy friends and acquaintances using this service.
  • There's a limit how much it can grow just like Twitter has.
  • However, Meta has all the resources and skills. It's just text first Instagram after all.
  • Nonetheless, it could grow big enough to extend their ad-sharing cyber space.

Would it ever grow bigger than Twitter like Mark is hoping for?

  • I doubt it.

Will it kill Twitter?

  • I don't think so.
