Tech Bytes: Threads userbase plunges

Another change for Twitter. Elon Musk tweeted yesterday that he’s ditching the blue bird logo for the letter “X”, claiming the new symbol will go further in transforming the global town square. Twitter has lost nearly half of its ad revenue since Musk’s takeover.

The so-called “Twitter killer” may not be that lethal after all. The number of daily active users for Meta’s new platform “Threads” has reportedly plunged 70% from it’s peak just over two weeks ago. After a rapid rise in signups, data shows just 13 million people were actively engaging on threads.

A soda fan-favorite from decades ago is back! Coca-Cola discontinued “Sprite Tropical Mix” in 2005. But, it’s now available on Amazon. A 24 pack of 20 ounce bottles for $59 bucks. The beverage is described as tasting like Sprite with hints of strawberry and pineapple.
