is claude going to be a top baby name for 2026 or what

The doji app is so cool

the rate at which booktok moves to a new book...I can't keep up

I interviewed @jay.bsky.team and @rose.bsky.team about Bluesky's origin story, scaling approach and that Zuck t-shirt: "We want a world where there's no need for emperors at all.” time.com/collections/...

Amazing fireside chat at SG Conference today with @kinjal.bsky.social and @rose.bsky.team 🦋

Thanks to @rose.bsky.team, I was one of the folks in the first waves of Bluesky. Great to see her speak on it at Startup Grind today. Thanks for guiding the convo, @kinjal.bsky.social. #startupgrind #startupgrind2025

I have no business being so happy about Rory McIlroy's win but I really am I can't wait for the movie

I'm so ready for a dedicated app and not needing to keep a browser tab open. Godspeed www.theverge.com/news/624926/...

just finished The Nvidia Way and will be speaking in Jensenisms from henceforth

currently here

in a world where I can have any number of LLMs recommend books to me, recommendations from internet friends is more meaningful than ever

I've decided that I'm entering my hardcore fantasy era and looking for book reccs I have a lot of classics on my list but looking for off the beaten path authors / series

I welcome all the folks who are new to the weird and confusing internet. You're going to love it.

how much would you pay to remove ads from your social feeds? (e.g, instagram feed with no sponsored posts?)

slowing becoming the norm

"there are decades where nothing happens and days where decades happen" is the 2025 vibe so far

We heard you like video

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his. It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this. I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

2025 is about editing. edit out the noise. edit out what doesn't serve you. edit your algorithm. don't give in to opening your phone and numbly accepting an ad every 15 seconds we can finally take charge of what we see

the one giant microphone approach to social media is on the outs, it's all about smaller, curated communities and finding your people

super cool tool for creating custom bluesky feeds with real time analytics and flexibility

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

What a year! Bluesky opened its doors just last February. Since then, we opened federation, launched video, rolled out trending topics, and a whole lot more. Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

wishing everyone space and time to recharge over the holidays ✨

I'm excited to announce @skyseed.fund, the world's first incubator & fund exclusively focused on Bluesky and @atproto.com. We're just getting started but have $1 Million in committed capital, and will be doing developer grants as well as pre-seed/seed funding. www.prweb.com/releases/ope...

Yaaaayyy!! Bluesky just hit 25 MILLION users!! 🎉 🥳 🎊 bsky-users.theo.io

did a little survey of my socials this morning. the news from South Korea was all over Bluesky, nothing on Threads, only one post on X, a little commentary on TikTok and (surprisingly) at the top of my Instagram feed. feels like news orgs are trying to figure out where to invest for breaking news.

i'm reading throne of glass (extremely slowly) pls tell me it gets better

couldn't have said it better!

Breaking news happening on Bluesky

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Our pre-publication paper is out! The Next Phase of the Data Economy: Economic & Technological Perspectives co-authored with some amazing people: @skominers.bsky.social, Leora Kornfeld, John Deighton, @scottbelsky.bsky.social, @apuchitnis.bsky.social, @kinjal.bsky.social, @dsearls.bsky.social ++

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

more lists like this please 🦋

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

Join us for another livestream with COO @rose.bsky.team and CTO @pfrazee.com, where they'll share team updates, the story of how Bluesky began, and what’s next. Plus, a special guest appearance from @flavorflav.bsky.social! 🎉 Today 11/25 @ 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET / 1 am GMT / 10am JST

“We are very clear that our primary user is the end user that we’re serving, and so we’re building features for them, ” Wang said. “If brands come, great, but you should be authentic; that’s what we tell them. It’s not going to work if you try to sound like a brand.” I did say this 👍

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network. I blogged about it here:

Did you know there’s a site to search for starter packs of people to follow? Built by @mubashariqbal.com blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.
