Meta launches its Twitter rival Threads, but will it take off?
New York | With Twitter already on the ropes, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg delivered another blow to Elon Musk on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), ramping up the tech billionaires’ rivalry with the launch of Instagram’s much-anticipated companion service Threads, a challenger to Twitter.
“Let’s do this. Welcome to Threads,” Mr Zuckerberg wrote in his first post on the app, along with a fire emoji. He said the app logged 2 million sign-ups in its first two hours.
