TWTR

A survey by Benzinga suggests that changes to Twitter could drive users towards Mark Zuckerberg's new social media platform, Threads. Within 24 hours of its launch, Threads attracted 30 million sign-ups. Twitter's decision to charge for TweetDeck, a dashboard application for Twitter account management, could further shrink its potential to attract new users. Almost half of the respondents in the survey said they would switch to Threads due to Twitter's changes.
