Description:
Threads has been shedding users in recent times  will desktop PC folks help 
to stem those losses?

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Threads now has a web version, to the relief of many who want to use the 
service on a desktop PC  although be warned that the web take doesnt have the 
full functionality as seen with the mobile app (yet). 

The Threads web app is rolling out as of now, and as TechCrunch reports, it 
allows you to make a post, interact with other posts, and view your feed, all 
from within Chrome (or whichever of the best web browsers you prefer). 

Sadly, important features are still missing from the web portal. For example, 
theres no way to edit the user profile, or send a post over to DMs (direct 
messages) on Instagram (as you can on the mobile client). 

However, more features will be included with Threads on the web going 
forward, were told, and presumably the latter ability will be one of them 
(profile editing surely will be). Analysis: A big piece of the user 
engagement puzzle 

It was rumored that the Threads web version would launch this week , and that 
turned out to be right  its great to see it arrive. While technically Threads 
existed as a site before, it basically didnt let you do anything, so if you 
wanted to, well, achieve something as simple as posting, you had to hop on 
your mobile to do that. 

Now, you can make a post on your desktop PC, as well as interacting with 
other peoples posts as mentioned. That should help stem some of the losses 
Threads has been experiencing of late, giving more interaction for the 
service as folks working on their PC take a break and check out posts. 

You may recall that when Threads first launched, it quickly notched up a 
whole ton of users  a good many of whom have fallen by the wayside since. 
Weve already talked about how a proper desktop offering , rather than having 
only a mobile app, could be a big piece of the puzzle to turn things around 
for Threads. Well soon enough see the reality of that theory You might also
