What Works | Small Business Podcast With Tara Mcmullin

This is an episode about Meta's new app, Threads. It's also about Substack and Substack's new-ish feature, Notes. But really, it's an episode about what we're looking for from the category we call "social media" and how we think about achieving those ends. And perhaps what it's really, really about is how we go looking for and creating meaning in the digital sphere.Jay Acunzo, a writer, podcaster, and public speaker who thinks a lot about online content, was one of the 100+ million people to give Threads a try over the last week. I was not. So I wanted to see how he was approaching the platform, why he joined in the first place, and maybe, just maybe, how he's thinking about making meaning online.Footnotes: Find out more about Jay Acunzo, his podcast, and his newsletter Substack Notes "Threads is a mecca of Millennial brain rot" by Kate Lindsay on Embedded "Meta unspools Threads" by Casey Newton on Platformer "To quit or not quit social media: opportunity cost can help you decide" on What Works John Austi
