I only heard about Threads a couple of days before it was due to go live. I was intrigued, as I always am when something new comes onto the online scene, so I thought I’d give it a go. Trying new things is something I like to do. Experimenting is my thing. I’d written some time before about Instagram no longer being the place for me but I was hopeful that this could be where I reconnect with my Instagram audience. An audience I’d built up in just short of a decade and was reluctant to ignore.
For those who aren’t aware, Threads is a new platform, not dissimilar to Twitter run by Meta (Facebook/Instagram). It’s connected to your Instagram account so, if you already have one (and I believe you need one to start on Threads) your audience doesn’t start from zero.
On Thursday I woke up to find Threads was already active after having its launch time brought forward — so I opened my account and created my first thread.
