#TWITTER TAGS FOR HOPE WORLD ARCHIVE#

Spoutible has added some interesting features, such as collaborative posting. BlueSky has the direct messaging you mentioned, but seems to have been in test mode for a long time and needs to be easier to join before it can reach a critical mass. We are tracking a number of other platforms, several of which have interesting, useful features. If I turned it in to my Fiction Writing 305 class, the instructor would have returned it as “not believable to the average person.”

We are in a never-ending email thread going on two months now with Meta support just trying to get our Instagram Business page to a point where we can use a third-party archive service to capture the data. I empathize with the need for a Twitter replacement, but my concern with Threads is that we’re already on two Meta products and would prefer not to have to add another based on our experience. Tl dr: PR needs a new Twitter, and Threads is going to be it – have some patience, and in the meantime help make it happen. Some kind of direct messaging service is bound to come to Threads at some point.(e.g., Bloomberg’s Work Shift has a Twitter account, but no Threads account as of this writing.) Some of the smaller verticals or sections of larger outlets aren’t on Threads yet.There’s still not a Threads equivalent of and hashtags like #journorequests & #prrequest that are commonly used to help reporters source stories on Twitter, but I think it’s just a matter of time.Leave that toxicity on Twitter.Īnd while Threads has made some big strides lately, there are still some elements I hope come along soon: The clearly sycophantic replies from PR pros to reporters are gross – don’t do that. Organically interact with influencers, thought leaders and reporters in your space.Some outlets have done posts where they link to their reporters ( Fortune example ) – keep an eye out for those. Follow the reporters and thought leaders in the space you work in.Tagging just started, and as of writing this, there are only a handful of posts that include the “PRThreads” or “Comms Threads” tags.Lean into new features as they’re released.

That’s important context, especially if you look to interact with reporters.

If you’re planning to join, here are some tips for PR pros: (Speaking of the new tags, “Journalism Threads” has been trending lately – check that one out too.) Some reporters have been slow to join, but especially in light of Musk’s most recent antics, I’ve noticed a big uptick in new reporters on the platform. Now is the time to join Threads if you haven’t already. As a big Utah Jazz fan (RIP their season), that’s definitely been a factor driving me to stay on Twitter. Why is that a big deal? Because when talking about the Twitter “holdouts,” the sports user base is often top of the list.

Threads did a huge sports push around the NBA In-Season Tournament.

“Tech Threads” has been one of the biggest trending topics on the platform so far.

Meta introduced a new tagging feature similar to hashtags.

But two recent signs gave me more hope in Threads becoming a legitimate competitor: I’ve significantly reduced my usage in recent months, but it’s been hard to quit completely because there are still so many important conversations happening on the platform. One of my favorite journalists, Casey Newton, recently pulled tech news site Platformer from Twitter, and I’ve wanted to quit myself. While Twitter rivals have sprouted up recently (Bluesky, Mastodon, etc.), none have had what it takes to replace Twitter as a place where notable, relevant conversations happen. We need a new Twitter for PR – I’m hopeful Threads will be it. And seeing as Elon Musk continues to ratchet things up with his antisemitic remarks, telling advertisers to “f*** off,” boosting conspiracy theories and reinstating Alex Jones, I don’t see the downward spiral coming in for a soft landing any time soon. Since its acquisition, Twitter has been on a path of self destruction – both from a product perspective as well as a founder-saying-horrific-things-and-associating-himself-with-questionable-people perspective. While elements of this Twitter still exist, the app’s glory days are gone and aren’t coming back. By checking in throughout the day, I was able to maintain a pulse on what was happening and what the people in the industry I cared about were saying, which helped me tailor pitches, media strategy, thought-leadership content, etc. Through years of active engagement, I carefully crafted and curated my Twitter feed and it gave me an edge against other PR pros.
