| Jack Dorsey launches new social media |
Twitter founder and former CEO, Jack Dorsey has launched a new social media platform, Bluesky.
The new app, which is in its testing stage, was first
introduced in 2019 as a decentralized social network protocol built by the
Twitter team to serve as a non-profit initiative.
Now becoming popular as a new social media platform after
business magnate and investor, Elon Musk, acquired Twitter; Bluesky is owned by
Jack Dorsey and associates without any controlling stake held by Twitter.
Bluesky, according to the team, gives creators independence
from platforms and developers and the freedom to design, allowing users to
choose their experience as it gives users control of their algorithms.
In October 2022, Bluesky announced a roadmap and additional
technical details about the AT Protocol that will power applications.
As of November 2022, Bluesky claimed to have over 30,000
people signed up for its beta testing.
As the Elon Musk-led Twitter is hitting staff with layoffs
and suspensions, industry analysts suggest that Bluesky might be their new
home.
