Are You on Threads Yet?
Has your social media team jumped on the Threads trend yet? We have at CareerBuddy 🤭, and yes, it’s amazing!
While this is not a social media marketing masterclass, the threads “saga” got me thinking about “Innovation” and “Timing”
The Backstory
In 2019, Meta, then Facebook debuted a new messaging app called Threads. The app was intended for Instagram users and it was designed as a camera-focused app. Long story cut short, they designed this app to compete against Snapchat. However, by 2021, it was time to say goodbye.
This was not the first time Facebook had tried to outshine Snapchat. They launched Poke in 2012 and Slinghsot in 2014 but neither app took off.
Little did we know that Meta had picked a new rival, Twitter. Threads had been incubating until Mark decided to spill the beans on Wednesday 5th of July.
Why launch now?
Since Elon took over twitter, there has been the battle to remain relevant. From the Launch of Bluesky to Mastodon, what eventually pulled the trigger signal for Meta was the announcement on Twitter restrictions which were implemented to “detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors”.
Why this story?
You have a great team and their ideas are just as amazing. It’s not always “strategy” that determines the success of your innovations - it could just be timing.
Yes, we are in H2 and videos like this have been flying around Mark’s internet on how you have to make the most of the remaining half of the year;
But here’s my two cents:
- If there is something you’re doing that is working - you’re doing it right, keep at it.
- And if there’s something you’re doing that isn’t working, it’s either of these two things - it’s not the right thing or not the right time. Simply switch things up or be patient.
By the way, what do you think about the new social media app and its impact on your team or company? I’d love to hear from you;

Twitter threatens to sue Meta after rival app Threads gains traction
Twitter is threatening Meta with a lawsuit after the blockbuster launch of Meta’s new Twitter rival, Threads — in perhaps the clearest sign yet that Twitter views the app as a competitive threat.
On Wednesday, an attorney representing Twitter sent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg a letter that accused the company of trade secret theft through the hiring of former Twitter employees.
The letter was first reported by Semafor. A person familiar with the matter confirmed the letter’s authenticity to CNN.
