Bluesky: Twitter Up For Competition From New Rival

The social media landscape is rapidly changing as Twitter faces stiff competition from a new rival, Bluesky.

With its innovative features and user-friendly interface on Android, Bluesky may quickly gain traction among users.

It is clear that Twitter must step up its game if it wants to remain dominantly competitive.

No less a personality like Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and ex-CEO of Twitter, has launched an alternative micro-blogging site available only on Android devices for now. 

This alternative platform, known as Bluesky, promises to be a future-thinking “social internet” that allows users more choices and frees people from platforms.

The app is still in development and only available to access through an invite code. 

According to New York Post, Dorsey began working on Bluesky as a side project in 2019 with funding from Twitter.

Reports reveal that many users of Bluesky say the app’s current beta version is similar to a pared-down copy of Twitter.

However, demand for the exclusive app has been growing, and the platform reportedly has about 20,000 users in its current form.

In the nearest future, the app developers hope to give users “algorithmic choice,” which would allow them to choose how content is fed onto their screens, instead of a one-fits-all algorithm controlled by the app developers.
