I cannot thank the threads dev team for the amazing work they have done so far. The additions and improvements they do on the new Alpha interface really makes the user experience better day by day. And its also cool to release these updates in a scheduled systematic manner - now every Friday. We will be expecting more to come in the few days until the next release on friday.
While we wait for Whats new! in the upcoming release, I want to use this post to explain some of the features I already find so interesting and cool. Without wasting much time, I list them one after the other as follows.
Note: I will be explaining these features from the PC web version. Mobile users might find the features a little different.
* Relevant People
This is the feature I so much appreciated for many reasons. First, this feature is found on the top right hand corner of your screen when you are viewing the thread of someone. Take a look at it below:
Relevant people is a nice feature of threads to help us quickly build our hive following audience. each time I open a thread and interact with the author, I try to see if they produce quality content in their threads, If I am impressed with what they are doing, I quick follow them right from the same page. This makes it so easy to follow people and equally see people your are following.
Ordinarily, you can still achieve the same task by clicking on the person's username name and going to their threads page. But having this feature right here eliminates the need to leave that threads page in order to follow the person.
I advice all threads users on PC to watch out for this feature each time you are consuming threads content. If what you find on the thread impresses you, or if you somehow wants to easily see the user's future threads, you should follow them right from this page.
The next feature I love so much is closely related to the one I just explained above. Lets look at it too.
* Following
This is another cool feature I love - probably another nice reason to follow people on Threads. remember that in recent updates, the dev team added these 3 sorting pages to make it easy to see what you want. The Latest page shows you most recent threads published in order of time. Then the trending page shows Threads that have the biggest engagements. Then the Following page.
The following page shows most recent threads from users that you are following. This is cool isn't it. I can say this is like a notification page for any users you follow. Since you wont know when they published their most recent thread, this page provides that important update. Its one of the pages I visit so often. There are certain individuals I enjoy their thread content. So instead of going to their threads page all the time to check up on them, I simply go to this page and see all their recent threads. That makes connecting with them once again so easy.
So if you want to always get to see what I am threading, you better follow me and check the following page for updates on my recent threads.
* Search tags/usernames
The search box at your top right hand corner is another super cool feature here. You cant have everything on one page, so why not smartly jump to a user's page or check out a particular tag by doing a search with this box.
So getting to a particular user's page or looking up what is going on in a specific tag gets as easy so doing the search in this search box. As an example, you see that I searched my friend 
Of course, this box is also useful if you want to check whether your friend on Hive has joined thread. Its easy to search their username and quickly head over to their threads page. If there is zero content, it means they are not on threads for now. You can use the opportunity to invite them over.
* More updates to Come plus - Threads need more users
As you probably already know, updates are now scheduled to happen every friday. I really cant wait for the next one - just 3 days from today. The team is working tirelessly to see that all the standard features are added and working. Until the next release, we need to be active on threads and get more people to join.
Threads need all the marketing we can do to create awareness for it. Dear friends, you can help us reach out to your friends too. Network marketing strategies could be effective here in helping the Leo team reach 5k MAU by December. Check your social media followers and your contacts. Threads make it easy to participate in the web3 social platform, have fun and get rewarded in the process too.
