If you’re looking for a more intimate and personal way to connect with your friends and family, then you should check out Meta Threads.
Ever since I first set up Myspace and LinkedIn accounts back in 2005, I’ve been fascinated with Social Media, although at the time it didn’t really have a name or an identity but I liked it.
There was something about the ability to connect with your friends online and share photos, music and memories that really appealed to me. With LinkedIn, it was the ability to connect with old colleagues you’d lost touch with.
For me, I think it sprung from a time when the internet was in its infancy, and a friend was working in New Zealand. When my son was born in 1994 we used to use an early, primitive, chat client to communicate and send pictures. It took forever over a dialup 14.4 modem connection, but the possibilities were there.
After dabbling with Friends Reunited for a brief time, I joined Facebook in 2007 and after that, Twitter in 2009. Although, in the early days, when you mentioned any of these platforms to people, whether from personal or business circles, your comments were quite often met with derision. People just didn’t get it, but right from the start, I could see the potential.
How times have changed!
Threads is a new app from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, and is designed to be a more personal space than other social media platforms.
Threads is similar to Twitter in that it allows users to post short messages, known as “threads”, that are limited to 500 characters. However, Threads is designed to be more of a personal space than Twitter. Users can only follow their close friends and family on Threads, and their posts are only visible to those people.
This makes Threads a great way to share your thoughts and feelings with the people who matter most to you. You can use Threads to catch up with friends, share your day-to-day life, or just let your loved ones know what’s on your mind.
Threads also includes several features designed to make it a more intimate and personal platform. For example, users can share their location with their followers, and they can send each other direct messages.
If you’re looking for a social media platform that is more personal and intimate than the big names like Twitter and Facebook, then Meta Threads is worth checking out. It’s a great way to connect with your close friends and family in a more meaningful way.
