Have you heard of Threads?

Threads, an Instagram app. Have you heard of it?

Words by Max Hobson

Instagram Threads is a social media platform developed by Meta, the same tech giant that owns Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. It's closely integrated with Instagram but extends its strengths into the text domain. In simple terms, it's Instagram's version of Twitter...

Although Threads mirrors the familiar layout of Twitter, it is designed as a more "sensibly" managed alternative, creating a positive space for expressing ideas, or in the case of real estate agents... value!.

Users can post comprehensive content, up to 500 characters, including links, images, videos, and even gifs. Videos can be up to 5 minutes long, offering great flexibility. You can follow other accounts, like posts, repost content, and send posts through direct messages.

It's also really easy to sign up, if you've already got an Instagram account. We will get onto that later.

Threads should be your go to platform for posting value content, quick fire tips and tricks for sellers and buyers and short form video content of your listings.
