Welcome to the Tech Mem Right Home for Thursday, July 6th, 2023. I'm Brian McCullough today.

There's only one story today.

Threads. Threads,s. Has threads already won? Here's what you missed today in the world of

Tech. It turns out I had to do a show today because it's not a slow news day after all.

In fact, it might end up being one of the most impactful days in tech for a long time.

Around the time I hit publish on yesterday's show last

evening Meta launched Instagram's Threads, their Twitter clone available on the

App Store and Google Play in more than 100 countries, users log in via

Instagram and can follow the same accounts as they do on Instagram already.

And look, I'm just going to come out and say it.

It's not even been 24 hours yet, but did threads just win?

Mark Zuckerberg says threads passed 10 million signups within 7 hours of launch, up from 5 million

within 4 hours of launch, and 2 million within 2 hours of launch up from five million within four hours of

launch and two million within two hours of launch and as I am

recording this he just announced that they've already passed 30 million

accounts celebrities like J-Low already have follower accounts in the millions.

You can follow me by the way, I'm Brian MCC.

Follow me because you know that would be cool,

but also because I'm in the midst of putting my following list together.

So if you look at who I follow, you can find some of the key people that I use to put the show together every single day.

So again, B-R-I-A-N-M-C-C- on Threads to get a good tech following list together for yourself pretty quick.

Let me quote, CMBC real quick to give you a summary.
