With each passing week, it seems there are new use cases for LeoThreads.
The update to LeoCache is really advancing threadcasts. The ability to communicate in real time is amazing.
This is something that will serve as a way to lure some activity that is on Discord.
Nevertheless, there was something from a bit earlier that shows how powerful Threads are.
Here is a thread that was posted:
Simple question. It is also one I cannot answer.
That said, I know someone who could help out.
So this is how I replied.
Fortunately, he was online and replied with this:
Here we were able to communicate between 3 people in a matter of a few minutes- The original poster got some guidance he was seeking.
Information Source
One of the keys is to make Leo an information source.
Over the last year, I have discussed how Hive is a database. This is something that all of here can utilize. Going forward, we should get as much valuable information on here as possible.
This post happened to be one that pertained to a Hive node. Granted, on the overall scheme of the Internet, this is very niche. However, as we see, the solution was already in the database.
A quick link dropped to another Leofinance page.
All of this will add up over time.
The ability to drop pages to convey information people are looking for is a golden opportunity for threads.
After all, how many times have we asked a question on Hive to only get crickets? We see similar behavior on Discord. In many rooms there, if you aren't a regular chit chatting on Web 2.0, they ignore you.
By answering simple questions that people ask, people will be conditioned as a place to go for answers.
This will help to pull people in on a regular basis.
Threadcasts As A Communication Tool
Engagement is key.
As we saw with the recent threadcast test put on the other day, the new features really push this concept forward. The fact that it auto-refreshes is a big help. Then we have the ability to reverse the direction of the comments, with latest being first.
This is huge.
For threadcasts, it does make it easier to engage. It also allows people to find the new content without having to search.
While it was designed to compliment broadcasts, it actually can be used for anything.
Do you want to talk about crypto? How about setting one up for that during the day? This could be done for gardening, recipes, or Splinterlands.
There really is no limit to what can be done.
If people are using the tag properly, it can be searched and people can find what they are looking for.
In fact, we could set up a threadcast on a daily basis for people to ask questions and for others to answer. This could be our own primal form of Quora.
The bottom line is we are only limited by our creativity. If people give it some thought, they will realize the potential that is here.
Threads is becoming a very versatile aspect to this platform.
