- Threads lacks essential features like hashtags and trends found on Twitter.
- The absence of direct messaging on Threads hampers private conversations and content sharing.
- Adding a live audio feature would enhance user engagement and keep up with Twitter’s Spaces.
Threads, the microblogging platform developed by Meta as a potential rival to Twitter, has entered the market amidst the growing dissatisfaction with Twitter. With its ability to share brief text, photos, and video updates with followers, Threads offers a similar experience to Twitter and has the potential to replace it as the go-to microblogging platform.
1. Hashtags
The hashtag is a widely recognized feature of Twitter that enables users to classify their posts and increase their visibility to others interested in similar subjects. By clicking on a relevant hashtag, users can easily explore tweets and access relevant information about specific topics or events.
2. Trends
Trends, a feature exclusive to Twitter, offers users a real-time overview of the most popular topics being discussed on the platform. These trends can be location-based, related to specific interests, or centered around global events. By following trends, users can stay informed about the latest happenings and stay connected to what is currently popular.
3. Direct Messages
Having a direct messaging feature is essential for any app aspiring to rival Twitter. Direct messages (DMs) not only facilitate private conversations but also serve as a convenient means of sharing content with contacts. Unlike Threads, where the only option to share a thread with a friend is through mentions in replies, DMs offer greater privacy and convenience. Incorporating direct messaging functionality into Threads would enhance user connections and solidify its position as a viable alternative to Twitter.
