The Rise of the Rival : Meta's "Twitter slayer" Threads

 The Threads app looks similar to Twitter.

Facebook owner meta annouced to launch it's new app called "Threads" to rival Twitter and say it will go live on Thursday(Tomorrow).

The Threads app available for pre-order on the apple app store and it will be linked to instagram. Screencab shows a dashboard that looks similar to Twitter. Meta describes Threads as a "Text base conversation  app".

Threads is built as a place where you can "Follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and other who love the same things." 



Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg plays latest move between Twitter's owner Elon musk Rivalry by announcing Threads app release.

Last month, the pair agreed to a physical fight, though it is unclear how serious the two men were about actually holding a  bout.

Thank goodness, they're so sanely run, Mr musk responded to a tweet about threads in clear fresh swipe at Mr zuckerberg 

For now, Twitter has said that popular user dashboard, tweet deck  will go behind a paywall (a system in which access to all or part of a website is restricted to paid subscriber ) in 30 days time.

This move is likely seen as Mr.Musk tries to push user to sign up to Twitter's subscription service"Twitter blue".

It appears from Meta's Threads app that it will be a free service and also meta provide no restriction on how many post user can see.

"Threads is where communities come to gather to discuss everything  from topic you care about today and what'll be trending "tomorrow". says app store description.

Threads app will hoover up data on your phone, including location,data,purchases and browsing history.

Several apps that impresive resemblance to Twitter have sprung up in recent year - such as Donald Trump's truth social and Mastodon.

similar apps like Bluesky claimed to have seen "record" traffic after Alon Musk's move to restrict usage at the weekend.

Never the Less, Threads app could be the biggest threat faced by Twitter to date.

It's not starting from zero, Threads app will be part of the instagram platform, so it will also connected to hundreds of millions accounts.

Zuckerberg will hope he can pull enough disappointed user away from Twitter to Threads to create a genuine auxiliary.
