Twitter vs Threads: Austinites react | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: The newly launched app Threads, similar to Twitter, has gained over 70 million users since its launch on Wednesday. Threads is designed for short messages to a wider audience, appealing to those looking for an alternative to Twitter. Twitter accuses the app of being a copycat, claiming that Mark Zuckerberg hired former Twitter employees and used shared trade secrets to develop Threads. Twitter owner Elon Musk commented on Twitter saying that competition is fine, but cheating is not acceptable. Some users feel that Threads is just a knockoff Twitter and that social media apps in general have become repetitive.
Meta, parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has launched a new social platform, one that has drawn comparisons to and ire from Twitter. FOX 7 Austin's Meredith Aldis takes a look at the two platforms and gets some reaction from Austinites.

SUMMARY: Currently, we’re monitoring Tropical Storm Barrel in the Gulf. The latest update at 1:00 PM shows it remains a tropical system, but it’s projected to intensify into a Category 1 hurricane near the Texas coast, particularly around Corpus Christi and Victoria. A storm surge of 3 to 5 feet is expected along the coast, and a hurricane watch is in effect with potential winds of 75 to 120 mph. Heavy rainfall, flash floods, and thunderstorms are anticipated from Sunday into Monday with variable rain amounts across regions. We’ll continue to provide updates with the next one at 4:00 PM, and potential weather changes are expected next week.
Stay informed with the latest updates on Tropical Storm Beryl as Meteorologist Brittany Begley provides crucial information and forecasts. Learn how the storm is progressing and what to expect in the coming days.
SUMMARY: Good morning from North Padre Island in Corpus Christi, Texas, where families are extending their July 4th celebrations on the beach despite Hurricane Barrel churning in the Gulf. Although Corpus Christi remains in the cone of concern as of 10:00 AM, the storm’s track is shifting eastward, closer to Houston, making locals here a bit happier. The sunny weather sees people grilling and enjoying their time. There is still uncertainty regarding Barrel’s intensity and exact path, but updates will continue as the situation develops, potentially moving focus to the Matagorda Bay Area. Stay tuned for live updates.
