Meta launches a new service that will be a direct competitor to Twitter
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta company will launch a new Threads platform based on Instagram, which will become a direct competitor to Elon Musk's Twitter, writes the BBC.
Threads is currently available for pre-order in the Apple App Store, but you won't be able to download it until Thursday. The platform will become a place "where people come together to discuss everything: from what they care about today to what will be trending tomorrow," the description of the service says.
According to available data, Threads will allow you to publish short text messages, and other users will be able to "like" them and forward them to friends. Twitter has similar functionality.
Despite its great popularity in some countries, Twitter has recently begun to rapidly lose users due to the innovations of billionaire Elon Musk, who bought the microblogging service. For example, last week, a businessman limited the number of tweets that users with a free account can view.
It is noteworthy that Meta will launch its Twitter response amid news that CEOs Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk will have a real fight in a cage. As part of the public correspondence, the billionaires agreed to hold a fight in the ring in Las Vegas. The seriousness of their intentions was confirmed by UFC president Dana White, who allegedly spoke with both businessmen, and both reported their readiness to participate in the fight.
