Instagram’s Twitter competitor, Threads, briefly went live on the web
www.theverge.com
Less than 3,000 brands and creators are already experimenting with Threads.

Meta briefly made Threads available on the web before pulling profiles offline a few hours later. The Verge was able to access Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s first thread (is that what we call them?!) using the web app, and many other brands and creators including Netflix, Gary Vee, and Instagram.

The head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, already has nearly 2,500 followers, and Zuckerberg has less than 2,000, so it’s safe to say that early Threads access has only been provided to a few thousand testers so far. Alessandro Paluzzi has discovered some of the brands and creators that got early access.

    They can also find people on Threads using full usernames, like @zuck@threads.net.

    I find this part the most interesting, because it confirms they’ll be federating both ways (eventually) unlike what some earlier rumors said.
