    Will Threads unravel Twitter and other TC news

    Will Threads unravel Twitter and other TC news

    Darrell called it last October: Meta has built their own Twitter dupe, Threads, and it’s going pretty well so far with 30 million signups in the first 24 hours. Of course, this is a Meta product, so the platform isn’t perfect with it’s non-chronological timeline and security issues. This week we’re hearing from TechCrunch’s Taylor Hatmaker and Morgan Sung on Threads’ staying power and how Meta nailed the timing of this launch.

    Shein is on the Sheouts and other TC news

    hein invited several fashion influencers to its facilities in China and, surprising no one but Shein and the influencers who took the trip, the internet isn’t thrilled with the viral factory tours.

This week Darrell is talking with Amanda Silberling about why Shein is on the "sheouts."

    Reddit vs Redditors and other TC news

    Reddit vs Redditors and other TC news

    It’s rare for all of a company’s users to turn against it in such an intense way, but Reddit has managed to alienate all of their users at once. After a recent announcement that the company will no longer be offering their API for third-party apps, users have closed ranks and made the site virtually unusable. This week guest-host Haje Kamps talks with TechCrunch Sr. Reporter Morgan Sung about whether there is room for compromise between the moderators who keep the site running, third-party apps that users love, and the profit-motivated Reddit management team.

    Putting the pro in Apple Vision Pro and other TC news

    At WWDC this week, Apple revealed its new Vision Pro headset, a platform it described as the advent of spatial computing. The company clearly put a lot of work into building Vision Pro, and VisionOS, the software that powers it, but is it as revolutionary as Apple marketing would have you believe? Today, Darrell is joined by Brian Heater to talk about Apple Vision Pro, and what the future might hold for spatial computing.

Cringing

If your idea of a tech podcast is hearing someone talk about Twitter bad, Threads good this is the podcast for you. Most of the techies I know aren’t hanging out in the Metaverse but good luck.
