Meta’s Project 92

PC Magazine

As The Verge reports(Opens in a new window), a Meta executive demonstrated a preview version of the Twitter alternative, which is known internally as “Project 92,” at a company-wide meeting this week. When it arrives, the final name is expected to be Threads, a name we first heard about in 2021 as a way for Facebook users to post connected messages.

Watch out! It's a blog fly!There is much consternation on Mastodon around Project 92. It’s rumored to support the Mastodon API and folks are not happy about it. Why? I have no idea.

Facebook has kind of skirted around the edge of blogging for a long time and I’m surprised they never turned Pages into a blogging platform. All they need is the ability to add titles, support for bold and italic, images, and links. That should cover 99% of post needs.

Add API support for getting, creating, updating, and deleting those posts and you could have a really great blogging solution.
