Of Tweets, Threads And Our Love For Social Media

Of Tweets, Threads And Our Love For Social Media

Meta has officially launched their new app, Threads, which is expected to be a potential rival to Twitter. This comes after Elon Musk announced that the posts readers can view on Twitter would be limited and based on their verification status, which had caused an uproar among users on the platform. We spoke to Amin Ashaari, co-founder and Editor-in-Chief at SoyaCincau.com about whether we need another app, and how the chaos surrounding Twitter has affected how people receive information online. We also heard from listeners on whether social media is important to them and which is their preferred platform.
