Meta’s social media platform ‘Threads,’ touted as a potential ‘Twitter killer,’ is facing a massive setback as major brands are shunning the platform, resulting in an alarming 80% decline in website traffic.

Threads, launched with much fanfare by Meta, aimed to compete with Twitter, offering users a more streamlined and engaging microblogging experience. However, it appears that the platform has failed to gain the trust and support of prominent brands, who have opted to stick with established social media giants.

The plummeting traffic on Threads is a clear indication of the platform’s struggle to attract and retain users. Many brands have cited concerns about the platform’s effectiveness in reaching their target audience and have returned to platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

This setback raises questions about Meta’s ability to diversify its social media portfolio and challenge the dominance of existing platforms. It remains to be seen whether Threads can recover from this blow and regain the trust of major brands.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
