Social networks are booming, with a large number of people behind them and managing to have many faithful who share content daily. In them, the ones that are growing by leaps and bounds are the usual ones, with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and among them one of the new ones called Threads, the latter owned by Meta, who also has WhatsApp.
Her arrival was after Twitter's microblogging network placed limits on unverified accounts, with a number of tweet reads. It becomes a direct competition on the part of the owner of Facebook, which sees it normal knowing what is coming, numerous changes in the network acquired by the billionaire Elon Musk.
What is Threads? Here we are going to answer any questions about her, revealing everything about her and saying whether or not it is worth launching into this new Instagram product. As if that were not enough, the design is very reminiscent of Twitter, so you will get familiar with it very quickly, not having to know much about it if you need to start using it under an alias.
What is Threads?
Threads is a new social network linked to the world of microblogging, launched short messages for the different accounts created on this page and application. Behind it is Instagram, which is why it is linked to one of the most growing networks and from which we can benefit from many things once we start with it.
The certain resemblance of it is close to both Twitter and Mastodon, from the latter it takes some small things, with its advantages and disadvantages, the latter is what it has less. It will not need to create an account, since it is linked to the one created by you on Instagram, which is the one he will throw.
Although it seems independent, Threads goes together with the Instagram network, although it can work as a page and application outside of it. You need the email/username and the password, which is the one with which you will be linked once you start in this renowned social network, which becomes a real alternative to others that have been established for years.
This is how Threads works, the new microblogging network
Starting to talk about how it works, Threads is no different than the restTherefore, getting hold of it will cost you around a few minutes, no more than five. The difference is the theme chosen for it, it has the support of Instagram and what is best, you do not have to create a new account to use it.
Among the positive things is that you have up to 500 characters to write what you want, 260 more than Twitter in the event that you do not have a verified account (this has a value of more than 8 euros per month). It also incorporates the possibility of uploading multimedia content, such as a photo or a video, so that everything is not text and becomes too boring in the end.
Posts will be shareable on the main Instagram account, something like a message that will reach more people as it is a post shared with all followers. Threads with this plans to integrate and be an application that goes both ways, together and also separately, not always having to depend on the social network.
The wall, an important point
As is currently the case with Twitter, you will see the latest messages uploaded by your followers, but also those considered important, which tend to be widely shared and seen. This in the end will bring with it what is proposed, that if you publish something and it arrives, that it has a good reach.
You can filter the content that you want to appear, such as that of the people you follow only, so what you will see is what those who follow you and you see them. This element is essential to avoid having to see filling, which in the end does not interest you, neither to you nor to the followers, who will be able to do the same.
At the moment start using this happens to live in a region where it is operating, although it is expected that it will reach others very soon. What you can do is use a VPN, which is what will allow you to try it without limits and see a small point of view of this renowned social network.
A still very green social network
Despite the growth of Threads, currently has more than 100 million users, has been blocking users who tried to enter with a VPN from outside its territory. The striking thing is that you can see a small glimpse of her thanks to the beta testers, who are the ones who were able to learn a little about her internal work.
Of that number, the expected connections were lower, despite this, the data is relevant and important for Instagram itself, which sees such a number as good in what are the first days since the launch. Having launched the service causes some small bugs to be debugged, corrections that will be made over the following months.
Much improvement is expected in the next hotfix releaseDespite this, those who are trying it are liking it, which are many in the United States, Canada and other territories. With this, the platform promises to choose a new alias and start following renowned accounts, as well as your own friends.
When will it be officially launched in Spain?
There is no specific date, despite this there are already many millions of people those who wonder when they will be able to access the microblogging platform. You have to wait a bit, because if you live in the United States you will take advantage of how it works and you will benefit from all its power, which seems to be quite a lot when associated with Instagram.
We will do the analysis of it once it is officially announced, which will not take long seeing that its progression continues to be high and promises to reach many millions of people in a little more than a few months, when it is finally launched.
