Meta is poised to unveil a new app that appears to mimic Twitter — a direct challenge to the social media platform owned by Elon Musk. 9News
A listing for the app, called Threads, has appeared on Apple's App Store, indicating it would debut as early as Thursday., with the listing teasing a Twitter-like microblogging experience."Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what'll be trending tomorrow," it said.
Musk replied "yeah" to a tweet from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey saying, "All your Threads are belong to us," along with a screenshot from the App Store's privacy section showing what personal information might be collected by the new Meta app. Allowing Instagram users to port their profile to Threads could give the new app more traction with potential users by providing a ready-made set of accounts for them to follow, said Navarra, former director of social media at tech news site The Next Web and digital communications adviser for the British government.
The policy announced Monday takes effect in 30 days and appears to be aimed at raising extra revenue because users need to pay have their accounts verified under Musk's changes.TweetDeck is popular with companies and news organisations, allowing users to manage multiple Twitter accounts.
