The app went live on Apple and Android app stores in 100 countries at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow, 30 million sign-ups as of this morning. Feels like the beginning of something special, but we&#8217;ve got a lot of work ahead to build out the app,&#8221; Zuckerberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/t\/CuXCjGVrd6R\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted<\/a> on Threads Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Threads is set to be Twitter&#8217;s most serious competitor yet.
