- Threads is at its best when people are discussing events in real time. But sometimes things move so fast that you want something more immediate than a post. So we built Live Chats: public group chats you can host, join, or just watch. We're kicking off with a few creators in the NBA Threads community around the playoffs. … @conno_r · Connor Hayes

- As a journalist here's the main things I'm hoping come from the new live chat/group chat feature. Being able to embed it into an article, that real time updates go through while you're on the page. This benefits Threads by encouraging credible journalists to share updates on a live topic … @carolynburt · Carolyn Burt

- Not all newsrooms have access to do live blog features and having this tool more easily accessible through Threads live chat feature could be a real win for both parties. Also I hope there's some cool Instagram plug ins with this of having a button you can share on your story or broadcast group that takes you straight to the chat … @carolynburt · Carolyn Burt
