Morning Folks!!
“It’s also a valuable lesson to CEOs in securing all domains users may use to find your business, or you could benefit the wrong company”.
How timely!! Now where have I heard this before?? BOOM! BAM!!
Meta’s Threads sends 10 million to the wrong site.
10 million visitors and transformed this small company into a GIANT overnight!!
"Analysis of its Google Play profile reveals downloads to the work app shot up from over 100,000 to over one million in a single month. Before Meta’s Threads launched, the app received around 2,600 monthly downloads."
“Threads work app has won the lottery for sharing a brand name with Meta’s latest social network, resulting in millions of traffic accidentally landing on its website. While some may argue that the traffic is irrelevant, as it was meant for the social network, analysis of the company’s app page has shown that the accidental traffic surge has resulted in millions of new downloads and a huge awareness boost of the work tool, surely boosting the company’s value and online rankings overnight. It’s also a valuable lesson to CEOs in securing all domains users may use to find your business, or you could benefit the wrong company”.
Hey Mark, you fucked up big-time pal!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Now you folks understand why I have been railing against CEOs this past week.
Thank you Mark Zuckerburg once again!! You did not learn your lesson from "TheFacebook"! And now you have taught everyone in the world about making boneheaded domain decisions. Except CEOs of course. They seem incapable of learning!! IDIOTS!!

But there is more....
The Twitter Tweety Bird is DEAD! Cause of Death: THE DUMBEST business decision in the history of business Elon Musk
Only a handful of businesses in HISTORY have achieved having their business name & logo on almost every Brochure, Letterhead, & Commercial & YOU threw THAT away Elon Musk???
So 2 of the biggest CEOs in the world just made 2 of the biggest boneheaded mistakes in business history!! Thank you for displaying your idiocies in front of the world.
I doubt that CEOs will learn. But NOW we have something definitive to point to. This is a turning point and use it to your advantage. Congrats Mark and Elon. You both have failed miserably on this one. EPIC!! Will give me MONTHS of material about idiot CEOs.
Congrats boys!! You BOTH fucked up BIG TIME!
THANK YOU for this WONDERFUL GIFT!!!!

This is why I was telling people the X.com news was good for lifting the value and shifting focus back to dotCom. Despite the X vs. Twitter brand debate.
A blind man could see not owning threads.com was going to be a disaster for Meta.
For those delusional non-dotCom hype artists, wake up. For you narrow minded CEOs wake the f*ck up.
dotCom is king.
Meta just killed the non-dotCom hype-machine. DotCom valuations going up…

Respectfully I think you’re wrong about the Twitter rebrand. It’s already made national news over many days and he already had the URL so the cost to rebrand was minimal and most know about it by now. Considering Elon is taking the first step toward becoming a super-app it makes perfect sense. For a super-app, is there a better brand than X.com? I don’t think so.

Does anyone know EXACTLY why the surge in traffic to Threads.com?
There is a huge difference between this:
1. Because people simply thought “Threads.com” and went their naturally.
And this:
2. Because whoever put together Threads.net mistakenly created links to Threads.com, otherwise there would not have been that much extra traffic to Threads.com.
