Threads, surpasses 95 million posts and 50 million profiles in record time

Meta, the parent company of social media giants Facebook and Instagram, has made waves once again with the successful launch of its new app, Threads. In less than 24 hours since its debut, Threads has witnessed an astonishing surge, surpassing 95 million posts and attracting over 50 million profiles, as per the exclusive internal data obtained by The Verge.

Threads, developed by Meta's Instagram team, was introduced to iOS and Android users in 100 countries on Wednesday, instantly soaring to the top of the App Store's free app rankings. Designed as a platform for sharing text updates and participating in public conversations, the platform seeks to boost connections between users with similar interests

With features similar to its parent company, Threads allows users to follow and engage with friends and creators, including individuals they already follow on Instagram. This integration has facilitated rapid adoption, as Threads garnered 2 million sign-ups within a mere two hours after its launch. The momentum continued to build, with the user count soaring to 10 million within seven hours and 30 million within just 12 hours.

The tremendous response to Threads prompted Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino to address the Twitter community, urging users to remain steadfast and united

They do... but no infrastructure to project and scale it like US. US being called super power is no joke.How many western powers are competing with US on these media platforms?

What do you mean by infrastructure

Nairaland has been here a long time
Stagnant and focused on projecting hatred
The numbers are there

What exactly d you mean by infrastructure?

Do you see any money going back into Nairaland as reinvestment? Any vision?
Are the owners willing to dilute their ownership and employ quality people?

You don't have to start at the top but grow incrementally

Competition is good - but snitching ain't good

Lol

how much is nairaland making? It's not by numbers. You coming here to make comments adds nothing to nairaland's purse. They need advertisers. Not all those fake mb they're advertising.

What have you said? Nothing
Just running your mouth without understanding
Is Twitter profitable?
What is infrastructure?

The point I made was about having numbers AND Knowing how to leverage that to make money.
Nairaland would make more impact of it floated and diluted its ownership and vision which is currently a one man show that has exhausted it's original vision.
Nairaland is probably making a profit which Twitter is NOT


How many Nairaland members show their real identity it promotes anonymity which aids hate speech

Who is proud to say they are on Nairaland?

I will create a website to rival nairaland.

The west will never allow it to fly and will never use it.

You remember 2go

There's this cretin called Tunde ednut or something , he said the Threads logo is "666".
What makes it all the more annoying, is that, some people actually believe him.
Ironically, he posted this shit on Instagram..

Is there anything wrong if you lead the charge by creating it yourself?

I pray make this thread no cut.

Hehehe.

His eyes don clear. If blackberry can go into extinction,then no company should be too comfortable.

Tinubu effects

The hype will eventually dissipate. It's a dry app

there are but you wont download it. Adamu Garba has an app, Dr ope banwo has an app called gisthouse. Have you downloaded it

Gajagojo:

Africans especially Nigerians do not support our own. Just look at Innoson, Proforce, etc..

The only exception at the moment is our music stars. We support them well but we need to move beyond music to start supporting locally made goods, APPS, business websites, etc.

Na so !

Twitter for life!
Mark is an evil person

This is a marketing strategy to give thread more exposure.

Twitter is irreplaceable, No social media platform comes close to it. Except Crowwee of course
