Is It Too Early to Talk About Threads?
Are you on Threads? I am! And yes, it may be too early to talk about the 2-day-old platform (at the time of this post) because although everyone is buzzing about it right now, it’s impossible to know what audience retention will be there in a month, year, or longer.
However, the new addition to Meta’s stable of apps presents us with a unique opportunity to be an early adopter, unlike any time prior, because we can bring all or some (or none) of our Instagram friends along.
At the moment, Threads feels a lot like Twitter 2007, where everything is light, fun, and a bit chaotic. You’re seeing people you may not know and brands you may not want to follow, but the system is doing its thing and figuring out who you are.

His process may not work for everyone, but can anyone succeed if they work the system to their advantage? Read more below.
