RIP Twitter. Meet Threads
How Musk got Zucced, and lost the war — out now in The Spectator
“Despite it being just day one for Threads, I’m not missing much from Twitter. In fact, in many ways it’s far better. The reply-focused interface is much cleaner and easy to read. The recommendation algorithm is far, far superior. Link previews are beautiful — and also just work, which is no longer true on Twitter. Most impressively, there is no better place to peruse pictures of fashion, cars, and art than Threads. There’s little compression, and layout for images isn’t simply better than Twitter, but it’s better than Instagram (which I expect will focus on friends rather than creators, and further integrate messaging, becoming somewhat like Snapchat).”
Out now in The Spectator: why Threads is going to be the next big social media platform, and Twitter is doomed. Give it a read! (and follow me on Threads!)
