Meta, will launch a web version of Threads, which makes it even more real for X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this week. This was reported from The Wall Street Journal. The web version has been awaited since this short-form posting service began.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is working to add this feature along with a better search, in fact, the current search features, you can only search for usernames on the platform. Meta states that this feature will be ready in "a few weeks."

However, WSJ wrote that their sources said "the planned launch of this feature is not final and could change." Mosseri posted on Threads last week that Meta had tested "the initial version internally for a week or two," but needed "some work" before being widely released.

Threads launched as a very simple Twitter clone just about a month and a half ago, quickly past 100 million users and filled with celebrities and brands, but some of the important features have gone missing, which the company is slowly adding.

The company recently added a follower feed, as well as the ability to verify links with your Mastodon profile, which suggests that Meta may actually take integration with the decentralized social network protocol Activity Pub is at least partially serious.
