Jack Dorsey, a co-founder and former CEO of microblogging website, Twitter, has launched a new social media platform named, “Bluesky.”
Dorsey’s decision comes barely a week after Twitter’s acquisition was completed by a United States business tycoon and owner of Tesla vehicles, Elon Musk for a whopping . $44 billion.
Twitter’s new boss has already introduced some radical changes to the company since his taking over, including the infamous $8 per month charges for verification badge and the sacking of the former CTO, Parag Agrawal.
For instance, Twitter in a recent email sent to all the company’s employees revealed that Twitter was planning a massive 85 per cent downsizing across all the spectrum of its operations.
Bluesky, while announcing its arrival into the social media sphere, however, said a number of job opportunities are available for a mobile application developer, react native expert, animation creator, and UI site manager.
It already has over 30,000 people signed up for its beta testing within two days of the announcement.
According to Business Insider, Bluesky’s website stated that the new platform gives creators independence from platforms and developers and the freedom to design, allowing users to choose their experience.
Dorsey alongside Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams co-founded Twitter in 2006 and briefly served as its CEO, and returned as CEO from 2015 to 2021 when he resigned.
He left the board of directors of the social network in May 2022.
