Just joined Bluesky. It is running so slow that it is almost non useable.

Is anybody else having trouble. I know they have millions of new subscribers. I hope their equipment can handle it.

It really seems to be super slow right now. I’m sure they’ll get it fixed. Fingers crossed.

7. The slowness is excellent news

That means that there is a stampede of people leaving Twitter. These social networks are all about critical mass. If the Bluesky people can scale up quickly and stabilize things, we would see a tipping point very soon where anybody is still hanging out at Twitter is likely a RW lunatic.

These things can change very quickly. One month, Foursquare was all the rage. 6 months later, nobody was using it at all. Likewise for Groupon and 100 other such sites. It should be one of our major objectives to bury Twitter.

What's Myspace you ask? Exactly.
