After a period of intense anticipation, Meta’s new social network, **Threads**, was officially unveiled to the world by Mark Zuckerberg. The announcement took place on Wednesday, the 5th, revealing a platform that places text at the forefront—directly referencing the format popularized by Twitter. Now available in 100 countries, the new social network offers immediate integration with Instagram, allowing users to log in automatically using their Instagram accounts.
Features and Instagram Integration
Threads allows users to post texts of up to 500 characters, as well as include links, photos, and videos up to five minutes long. The platform is designed to follow the same profiles the user already follows on Instagram, with the option to add others. According to Meta, the goal of Threads is to “bring together the best of Instagram and expand it to text, creating a positive and creative space for people to express their ideas.”
Celebrities and Compatibility with Other Social Networks
One of Threads’ highlights is its timeline, which displays content shared by people the user follows, along with suggested posts from other content creators. Additionally, Threads allows users to share their posts directly to Instagram Stories, further enhancing its integration with the popular photo and video-sharing platform.
To give the platform an initial boost, Meta has already announced several Brazilian and international celebrities with profiles on Threads, including Ivete Sangalo, Marcos Mion, Maisa Silva, Juliette Freire, Alok, Babu Santana, Shakira, Coldplay, Nick Jonas, Ellie Goulding, and Gordon Ramsay.
Moreover, the company is working to make Threads compatible with the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) open social networking protocol, **ActivityPub**, which will allow interoperability with other apps such as WordPress and Mastodon. Meta also promises to improve search features to make it easier to track real-time trends. Without a doubt, Meta’s new social network arrives with major ambitions and promises to revolutionize the way we interact online.
