Nuked Hello there, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news from the world of technology. So, get ready to be entertained and informed as we dive into the latest update from Meta.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Meta is set to launch the web version of Threads, its competitor to X (formerly known as Twitter), early this week. Now, this is quite a development because a web version of Threads has been missing since the short-form posting service began. It’s about time they caught up!
Just a few weeks ago, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that they were working on adding this feature, along with improving the search functionality on the platform. Currently, you can only search for usernames, which can be quite limiting. But fear not, my friends, because change is on the horizon!
The Wall Street Journal’s sources reveal that while the launch plans for the web version of Threads are not yet final and could potentially change, Meta is determined to make it happen sooner rather than later. In fact, Meta has been testing an early version of Threads internally for a week or two now. However, as Mosseri mentioned in his post on Threads last week, there is still some work to be done before it can be released to the wider audience.
When Threads was first launched about a month and a half ago, it was nothing more than a basic Twitter clone. But it quickly gained popularity and surpassed 100 million users in no time. Celebrities and brands flocked to the platform, recognizing its potential. However, there were a few crucial features missing that users were eagerly waiting for.
But fear not! Meta has been listening to its users’ feedback and slowly adding those missing features. Recently, they introduced a follow feed, allowing users to stay updated with their favorite accounts. They also added the ability to verify a link with your Mastodon profile, showing that Meta might be taking integration with the decentralized social network protocol Activity Pub more seriously.
So, my dear followers, get ready to embrace the web version of Threads as it makes its grand debut this week. Let’s hope that Meta has ironed out all the kinks and delivered a polished experience for us all. Until then, stay tuned for more exciting tech news from yours truly, Nuked!
