One of the big things holding backThreads, Meta’s rival to Twitter, is that it lacked a web version. Not any more. We reported thatthe web app was coming this weekand now it’s here: threads.net is now live for everybody, enabling you to muck about on the social network while everybody thinks you’re working.
That’s not a joke: as we’ve previously pointed out, one of the things that helped Twitter get so big was people posting from their PCs and laptops when they were supposed to be working.
What can you do on the Threads website?
According to Threads itself, you can read, you can post and you can add photos and videos, reply and repost, search for profiles, view your own profile and see your notifications.
That said, the web app is likely to make a very big and very noticeable difference to your Threads feed whether you view it on your phone or on the web. Many of the people on my various social media feeds have been waiting for the web app because they prefer to post from their PCs or Macs; that’s been the case for me too. As a result Threads has felt to me like a social network in waiting: lots of interesting people had signed up for it, but few of them were posting interesting things.

None of this guarantees that Threads will be a Twitter killer. Maybe Twitter was the unique snowflake of the social media world. But Threads just got a whole lot more useful, and I think you’ll see that in your feed very soon.
