Threading the Needle: Our take on Meta’s latest social disruptor app, Threads
It appears that the era of re-tweeting is behind us, making way for a new trend: re-stitching (which has a nice ring to it, don't you think?).
Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Meta, and his team at Instagram recognized this opportunity and swiftly seized it. With Twitter now overshadowed after Elon Musk, who calls himself "Mr. Tweet," took over, there was room in the realm of social media for an app that fosters discussion and connects people through focused topics in a single thread.
So, what does this mean for social media managers and their clients?
Change! But fear not, change isn't necessarily a bad thing. This presents a fresh opportunity for businesses to showcase their products and services, establish themselves as industry leaders, and forge deeper connections with their customers.We can't predict whether this app will endure like TikTok did. Remember when scrolling through videos of strangers for hours every night wasn't a thing? It's hard to imagine now. Nevertheless, whether you're thrilled or not about this new social app, it's here, and it's our responsibility to learn how to master it so you don't have to!
