Welcome to the Connected Church News!
This news item is part of the weekly top 5 news bulletin (from Week 5, Nov 2023) specially packaged for leaders of Nonprofits, Churches, and Faith-based Social Ventures.
Threads app is testing a new feature which will help you organize your posts better on the platform. You can now tag your posts by topics. Which is an interesting experiment that they are starting in Australia as per the CEO Adam Mosseri. In his threads post, he said, “we are rolling out a test in Australia that lets you tag topics on threads to categorize your post by interest or theme”. When you post your threads, just right below your post, you will see a # button. And if you click on the hashtag button, which is like a regular ‘select your hashtag’ type of thing that you’ve seen on Instagram, you will see the hashtags, but right at the top, you will also see a button that says ‘add a tag’ with a + button. For example, if you are releasing threads related to certain Bible verses or some themes like faith, or hope, or love, you can do that. So a great way to organize your threads.
