This is the story of IRL, an up and coming social app that was once valued at $1 Billion, until it was revealed that most of its users were fake.

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Dec. 2, 2024, we explore the rapid growth of social media platform Bluesky and discuss if any platform social can truly be a public square.

Threads is all the buzz lately! 100 million new users join in just the first week, which is crazy!   You have to ask yourself (because who really needs yet another social media platform):   Is it worth your time?  Is it just another time suck?  How can you leverage it for your business?    The jury is still out, but for now, I'd say give it a try and just have fun experimenting.    Will Threads replace Twitter?    Or will it go the way of Clubhouse? Remember during the pandemic lockdown, when Clubhouse was everyone's favorite shiny new toy? We were all isolated and stuck at home, so what else was there to do? But nowadays, is anyone even still using it? Not me.   I'm still experimenting and playing around with Threads to decide for myself how it might fit into an overall marketing strategy. What I've sensed so far is that it's not political or journalistic (like Twitter). It's actually more like the early days of Facebook when you'd post a random status.    Why Join Threads Now?   If you're thinking about joining the Threads app and want to grow a big following, it's best to jump on now before it gets overcrowded. I've been posting on both of my accounts daily (tracymatthewsny and flourish_thrive), just one or two things here and there, trying to get a feel for the app and how I might leverage it going forward.   Listen to Episode 419 and decide for yourself!   For now, the jury is still out as to whether Threads is a game-changer when it comes to promoting your jewelry business and connecting with your audience.    Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this lighthearted episode and then just experiment, play and have fun!   Are you enjoying the podcast? We'd be so grateful if you gave us a rating and review!

Threads by META: The Text-Based Social App Taking the Internet by Storm The social media landscape is ever-evolving, with new apps constantly vying for users' attention. In the midst of this dynamic environment, Threads, the text-based app by META and powered by Instagram, has made a stunning entrance. Within just five days of its launch on June 6, 2023 (June 5 in the Americas), Threads amassed a staggering 100 million signups. This meteoric rise has left even the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, in awe, who described the achievement as "insane" and hard to comprehend. In stark contrast, its rival Twitter has experienced a decline in user retention, pointing to the captivating appeal of Threads. I. The Rise of Threads: A Paradigm Shift in Social Media Threads has captured the imagination of users worldwide, catapulting its popularity to unprecedented heights. Its success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the speed at which it garnered 100 million signups, its unique concept, and its integration with Instagram. The speed at which Threads achieved 100 million signups in just five days is nothing short of remarkable. Even Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, expressed his disbelief and excitement. The swift rise of Threads highlights the power of curiosity, hype, and effective marketing in the digital age. II. Analyzing User Loyalty: Threads vs. Twitter Examining the contrasting user loyalty rates of Threads and Twitter offers valuable insights into the changing dynamics of social media. While Twitter has experienced a decline in user retention, Threads has managed to maintain a steady level of loyalty. The decline in Twitter's user retention is evident from the statistics, particularly among Android users. The percentage of new users who continue to regularly use the app after 30 days has dropped from 19% in May 2022 to 16% in May 2023. This decline raises questions about the factors contributing to this trend, such as increased competition, changes in user behavior, or evolving user preferences. III. Unraveling the Success Secrets of Threads Threads' phenomenal success can be attributed to a combination of strategic targeting, simplicity, and effective integration with Instagram. To achieve such rapid growth, Threads effectively targeted the right audience. By identifying the user segment most receptive to text-based communication and intimate connections, Threads managed to capture the attention and loyalty of millions of users. Understanding the preferences and needs of the target audience allowed Threads to tailor its features and marketing strategies accordingly, resonating with users on a deeper level. Another key element of Threads' success is its integration with Instagram. By leveraging Instagram's established ecosystem, Threads enhances its functionality and offers a seamless experience for users. The integration allows users to effortlessly transition between the two apps, benefiting from the familiarity of Instagram's features while enjoying the unique appeal of Threads' text-based interactions. Threads' rapid ascent in the social media landscape showcases the ever-changing nature of user preferences. Its text-based approach, seamless integration with Instagram, and emphasis on authentic connections have struck a chord with millions of users worldwide. While Twitter's user retention wanes, Threads has managed to captivate users and hold their loyalty steadfastly. As the social media landscape continues to evolve, Threads by META has firmly established itself as a prominent player in the industry. ** Thank you for joining me on The Contrast Project Lounge Podcast.

Who knew this was tops?

When Donald Trump announced he was creating a social media app to disrupt big-tech, Rob had mixed feelings but he believed that many companies and the centralisation of media did and still does need to be disrupted. Listen in to this episode to hear why he had these thoughts and how the app is doing now. KEY TAKEAWAYS The app has been branded a failure because there is a waiting list of over a million and it doesn't even work on android, among various other issues. De-platforming and cancel culture is rife across social media and this is why Rob believes we need to see the de-centralisation of social media. If we continue to allow social media to have this much power over free-speech then we are giving them too much control, over more than just what people post on Facebook, but the political landscape as well.

Episode 15: Part two of Isotta's conversation with Jonathan Smith, artist, designer and co-founder of Choice Art, the new social app for artists. Jon dives back into a discussion on the goals he and his co-founders have for Choice Art. He explains how the app was developed with both artists and art enthusiasts in mind. Choice Art bridges the gap between art and tech for creatives and seeks to remove the uncomfortable feeling people get walking into contemporary art galleries. Jon and his team are dedicated to creating accessible and inclusive spaces and are taking inspiration from platforms like Clubhouse to innovate in the way we interact with art online. The discussion touches upon some of the actions Choice Art is taking to devise new support structures and resources for international creatives, including a monthly cash prize competition in the app. Isotta and Jon conclude their conversation by discussing how word of mouth is the best marketing strategy and why Choice Art's aspiration is to use the tools of the creator economy and Web 3.0 to empower transparent data ownership and artistic attribution. DonateMusic by Blue Dot SessionsCover art by Eleonora TucciSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations
