Meta will launch an analog of Twitter - it will be called Threads
In this regard, Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight
Mark Zuckerberg's company Meta will launch an analog of Twitter this Thursday – a microblogging application called Threads.
The mobile app, which will be powered by Instagram and will be a direct competitor to TweetDeck, is already available in stores.
"Expected on July 6," the App Store says.
Threads is described as a text-based communication app "where communities come together to discuss everything from what's on your mind today to what's trending tomorrow."
Unlike Twitter's other competitors, Threads has a high chance of quick success. According to the WSJ, it will be based on a base of more than 2 billion monthly active Instagram users who will be able to use an Instagram nickname on the new network. According to Insider Intelligence, Twitter has 363.7 million monthly active users.
At the end of June, amid Meta's plans to launch a new app, Twitter owner Elon Musk challenged the corporation's founder Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight. The challenge was accepted. The fact of negotiations between the owners of the world's largest social networks about the fight was confirmed by UFC President Dana White.
The venue is Las Vegas, which will require the approval of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The media wrote that the fight could take place in the Roman Colosseum and that the Italian Ministry of Culture allegedly proposed the idea.
However, the representatives of the complex replied that the museum hosts events of a high cultural level and exclusively for the purpose of raising funds for charity.
Background. As a reminder, Meta is selling the animated image platform Giphy for $53 million due to the decision of the British regulator.
