I'm writing about an important topic for any company:

Customer Service

Where has all the customer service gone?

No phone #, no email address. Only a form and auto response.

When robots are in charge, customers and potential customers are easily lost.

Yes, it sounds helpful and easy for her to complete.
Wish they'd had them sooner.

Only a billionaire who doesn’t care could buy a social media, tear down the brand and split or lose his audience.

And it’s hard to know which app will be the winner to replace X if one does.

Me too on Twitter. All we need is more time right?

Want to start tracing your family tree? 🌳

Talk to your oldest living relatives. πŸ—£οΈ

Prepare questions. Ask open ended ones to hear their story. ❓

What do they regret and what’s their greatest joy?

Record the interview and take notes. πŸ“

Time flies, don’t wait.

OK.

Do they allow you to view them and take a photo for a fee?

They left Scotland in 1885 so the first one isn't her. How would I check the second application?

Good question.

I have a few communities on my Twitter:
Marketers/Social Media
Content and book writers
Genealogists

So far @bsky.app I see more genealogists active here. Not the 2 communities.

Mary Joyce's maiden name was King.

I have the name of both sets of their parents if it's included, all from Galway, Ireland.

You'll be getting lots of those requests.

I'm curious:

Have most @bsky.app users stopped tweeting on the letter app?

Or, are you using both?

Patrick born 1852 and his wife Mary born 1853. They could also be a bit older.

All I know is they were both born in Galway, Ireland.

Only a billionaire who doesn’t care about it could accomplish this.

Mary King married Patrick Joyce 26 Jan. 1871. They lived at 16 Main St., Gorbals, Glasgow. Mary & Pat Joyce are on 1871 & 1881 Scottish Census.

Estimated Patrick was born 1852 & Mary in 1853 per marriage doc. They could have been a few years older since didn't have real ID.

Interesting.

I have ancestors who moved there from Ireland in the 1870s. I'd like to know more about how it was from 1870-1885 when they emigrated again.

Let's call them tweets not posts on @bluesky.

After all, that other app owner doesn't care about the former brand. He can call his Xs.

It didn’t qualify to be called a rebrand. More of a name change to his favorite capital letter. The team probably had at least a few hours notice.

I understand they mean to eat clean like our ancestors did but as you pointed out many people couldn't eat well.

And how did they survive without air conditioning?

Jealous. It's 94 F/34C here feels like 100/37 C.

Agree.

Either:

A. It's part of his plan.
B. He doesn't care.
C. All of the above.

Not a good look from any angle.

How's your weather in Ireland?

New user here, longtime marketer.

Why doesn't @bsky.app run a contest for suggestions to replace post?

After getting top two picks that are legally open users could vote.

Name and logo change but not a rebrand.

It takes years and hard work to build a global brand. πŸ’ͺ

And, only months to tear it down without recognizing what you’ve lost. πŸ™ƒ
