we are excited to see what cool integrations TechThreads come up with using these universal links! tag me if you post a demo of something cool. and if there are other universal links you think we should add, please let us know
yeah, i would like to eventually have a threads developer portal with API and universal links documentation hosted, but wanted to share these out for now
If I could talk to Threads' For You feed I'd say "show me mostly stuff from the past 24 hours, focused mostly on tech news, along with stuff that will make me laugh."
@ghost updates us on when to expect full ActivityPub integration: "more than a month, but less than a year, probably".
I'm not going to hold them to that since this needs to be done right and they should take their time, but it tells us that this is a top priority in their minds and is coming way sooner than I initially thought it would.
Following augment.ink from Fediverse Threads may be a thing by 2025!
i remember when this happened so vividly, the feeling was so visceral like we were actually going to war.. back when a 'lockdown' meant life or death for the entire company.
as a bright-eyed bushy-tailed intern in 2011, coming in to work on the weekends, only because everyone else at the company was doing it. getting an impromptu email to gather around the aquarium like a general addressing his troops. its crazy how different working in tech back was then compared to now.
we just focused on making the product better across all fronts, from product to infra. we accelerated the analogous 'circles' privacy feature (which no one really used), and a few other things that i forgot. ultimately, it just came down to better execution on the parts that mattered.
The story behind the t-shirt @Zuck wore for his 40th birthday goes back to 2011 when he led Facebook to crush Google Plus. During his 2011 Lockdown Speech he said “one of my favorite Roman orators ended every speech with the phrase Carthago delenda est. ‘Carthage must be destroyed.’ For some reason I think of that now.”
It’s baffling why investors sometimes discount META because of his leadership. It deserves a substantial premium—he's one of the greatest business leaders in modern history!
