Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal - 'Threads - the new social media app by Meta' #220

Episode 220 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane, David Segal & a guest appearance from our new Marketing Manager Kendel Young. (This was a totally unplanned chat where we hit the record button in our studio after a team meeting!) In an already congested social media world, Meta has launched a new app called 'Threads'. In just a few days it became the fastest downloaded app ever, even beating ChatGPT and boasting over 100 million users by week one. But is an app that has seemingly been created to take on Twitter also relevant to aesthetic businesses? We explore: What Threads is exactly What Twitter is traditionally used for and who was using it How Threads is so similar to Twitter - but why it also has a massive advantage What the basic functionality of Threads is How a text-based app feels different compared to visual mediums like Instagram Whether this can lead to more authenticity and a better connection with your followers Why you shouldn't replicate your other social media content on Threads How to sign up to Threads   SUPPORT THE PODCAST: If you enjoy listening to IA every week and would like to help support the podcast in a small way, we have a simple donation option: Buy us a coffee   IA PATREON: Did you know that we have an online injectable education & business support platform called IA Patreon?
