Yes, we are always looking at more ways to showcase and increase the reach of press releases posted to MyPR.
In addition to our Facebook and other Social Media accounts MyPR has activated the facility to automatically share all posts from MyPR Africa AND MyPR International to our Bluesky social media account.
You can find and follow MyPR on Bluesky here: @myprcoza.bsky.social
Bluesky is a decentralized social network aiming to provide users with more control over their data and online experience. Unlike many centralized platforms, Bluesky utilizes the AT Protocol, a decentralized standard that allows for greater interoperability and reduces reliance on a single entity. This approach is intended to foster a more open and less restrictive online environment, promoting competition and innovation within the social media landscape.
Bluesky was founded as a project within Twitter in 2019, initiated by then-CEO Jack Dorsey and was aimed at exploring decentralized social networking. Dorsey chose Jay Graber to lead the project, focusing on giving users more control over their social media experience. In 2021, Bluesky became an independent company, further developing its vision of a decentralized platform.
How did we set up the Automatic Sharing of Press Releases to Bluesky?
As MyPR is a WordPress site we found a plugin called Autoblue – https://autoblue.co – installed it and created an App key on our Bluesky account and that was it – easy, quick and painless.
Autoblue is completely free. There will be a premium version in the future, but the core functionality will always be free (and is already super useful!).
