Threads are “stand alone” bits of data that are not related to existing content like stories or photos. Threads are statements or questions, to which users can reply. A user can make a simple statement about the local music scene. An open forum could be titled Local Music Scene. This would then be the header on the page that contains the thread. The thread might be: “Our local Music scene rocks!” Public Users could then leave comments regarding this statement.
