The timing seems perfect. As Twitter grapples with the knock-on effects of Elon Musk's arrival at its helm, Jack Dorsey, one of Twitter's founders, is starting to create a buzz with his new social networking initiative called Bluesky. So what does this new platform offer?

After the blue bird, Jack Dorsey is maintaining his signature color scheme with Bluesky, the businessman's latest venture. The project came about in 2019, when Jack Dorsey was still at the helm of Twitter. In fact, the social network actually funded Bluesky to the tune of US$13 million (RM61.57mil). "The bluesky project originated with Twitter in 2019, but the Bluesky PBLLC established this year is an independent company focused on decentralized social network R&D," the team behind the project clarified in a Twitter post back in April, when the future of Twitter was still uncertain.
