### META TESTS TWEETDECK-LIKE EXPERIENCE FOR THREADS
Meta has announced that it is beginning to test a new feature on Threads that is reminiscent of TweetDeck. This feature will allow Threads users to create customizable feeds displayed in a column interface on the web. This functionality is similar to the original TweetDeck before it transitioned into a paid service known as X Pro.
### CUSTOMIZABLE FEEDS AND REAL-TIME UPDATES
According to Meta spokesperson Seine Kim, users participating in the test will have the option to keep things simple with a single feed, or they can add separate columns for various elements such as favorite searches, tags, accounts, saved posts, and notifications. Additionally, users can choose to have specific columns update in real-time.
### SIMILAR TO TWEETDECK
The new web experience for Threads, resembling TweetDeck, is currently being tested by selected Threads users. The interface allows users to decide whether columns automatically update with the latest posts and gives them the ability to pin columns filled with search results or posts from a single user profile.
### RESPONSE TO USER COMPLAINTS
This new interface is likely a response to complaints from Threads power users who were unsatisfied with the algorithm-driven For You feed. Users had to manually access the real-time Following feed by bookmarking the URL or switching feeds each time they visited Threads on the web. This issue was also present on the mobile apps, prompting Meta to make changes.
### HISTORY OF TWEETDECK
TweetDeck was initially a popular third-party app for Twitter until it was acquired by the company in 2011. Known for its multiple account support and customizable feeds, TweetDeck was favored by power users, journalists, and marketers. To access the rebranded X Pro, users now have to subscribe to an X Premium account for $8 a month.
### CHRONOLOGICAL SEARCH RESULTS
In addition to the new TweetDeck-like UI, Meta is introducing a chronological recent tab for searches on Threads. This tab will display search results in chronological order, providing users with a different way to view their searches.
