Will Threads unravel Twitter and other TC news


Listen Later

Darrell called it last October: Meta has built their own Twitter dupe, Threads, and it’s going pretty well so far with 30 million signups in the first 24 hours. Of course, this is a Meta product, so the platform isn’t perfect with it’s non-chronological timeline and security issues. This week we’re hearing from TechCrunch’s Taylor Hatmaker and Morgan Sung on Threads’ staying power and how Meta nailed the timing of this launch.

Articles from the episode:

  • Twitter limits the number of tweets users can read amid extended outage
  • Twitter silently removes login requirement for viewing tweets
  • DoorDash offers delivery workers hourly rate, but there’s a catch
  • Meta’s Threads app is a privacy nightmare that won’t launch in EU yet
  • Threads passes 30M sign-ups in less than 24 hours
  • Meta’s Threads app is a privacy nightmare that won’t launch in EU yet
