Interesting analysis of why Bluesky is better by design, not just because the people on it are necessarily nicer

I flew Air New Zealand from LHR to both HKG and LAX back in the early 2000s. They had lovely crew and a premium economy product that was better than BA or Virgin. Always thought they would regret selling their LHR slots. Would be great to see them back in London.

@james.crid.land with a fun blog post about using your domain name as your nickname on BlueSky. And using me as an example.
Now, look, I’m not casting shade at anyone, but if you have anything to do with tech and you’re joining BlueSky - or you’re a brand - then for goodness sake, use your domain as a nickname. Apart from anything else, it verifies your profile as definitely yours. It’s free!

Had a great coversation with @seancallanan.bsky.social a few weeks ago, and he has very kindly published me as his 400th podcast. Congratulations, Sean, on reaching such a cool milestone!

It was lovely to chat to Sean about how we deploy technology at AEG to enhance the fan experience.
