The blue sky
Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, he has announced his platform, and that Twitter, as a five-man management team’s funding. This is a team that is Bluesky (blue sky) and will only be involved in the development of a decentralized protocol.
Twitter is funding a small, independent team of up to five, open-source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to, ultimately, be a client of this standard. ?

At present, the chief technology OFFICER, chief technical officer of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, looking for someone to lead the team. The team will have two directions to go: either build upon the previously developed protocols, such as the Steem, or in your own building.
Even though Dorsey is not literally saying that he’s blockchain technology and want to use a hint, he still has to go.
Finally, new technologies have emerged to make a decentralized approach is more viable. Blockchain points to a series of decentralized solutions for an open and durable service, governance, and even monetization. Lots of work to be done, but the fundamentals are there.

Threat or opportunity?
From a business perspective, can the classical economists, it is correct to see this as a threat for Twitter. You power be out of your hands and ensure that it is more difficult to be effective to earn money because you have a monopoly on the ads, not the more you can exploit it.
Dorsey thinks this is a good thing, then Twitter is their focus on innovation, and a healthy online conversation.
“It will allow us to gain access to and contribute to a much wider range of the public conversation, our efforts are focused on building an open recommendation algorithms. It should be a healthy conversation to promote them. Also, it forces us to be much more innovative than in the past.’
The anonymous developers of the sponsors
This initiative fits well with the strategy of Dorsey. He has been there for years are openly in favour of devolution and, in particular, bitcoin. He / she is buying, namely a monthly basis for $ 10,000 in bitcoin regardless of the price. And by the end of 2017, you can you can bitcoin buy or sell through the Cash App. They sell every month, about $ 50 million in bitcoin.
In march it launched the Dorsey Square, a Computer, a project that was similar to Bluesky. Square Computer is in of a team of five people working on it full-time to improve the bitcoin ecosystem. Most of the development is the fact that they use anonymous bitcoin developer funding.
In a move that could never happen in any other space, we’re supplying a grant to create what looks at first glance like a hash function. Please welcome ZmnSCPxj to the small, but growing family, or a Square, a Crypto-grant recipients.
