Chandigarh, July 6

Meta platform has officially launched a new application, Threads, which is being considered as a challenge to microblogging site Twitter. The text-based app will allow users to post text, links and reply to or repost messages from others, similar to what we do on Twitter.

Amid the ‘apprehensions’of Elon Musk-led Twitter, netizens are in no mood to let go of this introduction of the new app and have opened flood gates of memes.

The launch has taken the internet by storm. Within hours, Threads witnessed10 million sign-ups.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
