Today is my last day as CEO of @Delightful Communications, the technology marketing agency I created in 2012 and have been honored to lead for the past twelve years. For the full story, head over to my LinkedIn profile! 😉

The ABC moderators have let Trump speak for 9 minutes longer - roughly 30% more - than Harris. The way they've "rigged" the debate is by letting him hang himself with his own stream-of-consciousness rambles.

Are the ABC anchors so bad on purpose? Are letting him self-implode? She should have been able to respond just then. They’ve given him SO much more airtime! 🤯

They have 90 minutes to get their shit together. Jason Reitman’s #SaturdayNightMovie is coming exclusively to theatres October 11.

Not sure I’d let either of them pack my groceries at the supermarket, for very different reasons! 😬

Since it is public, I made the 14K Google ranking signals searchable, in case anyone wants to see if "PageRank" or "Mustang" are more important. Thx to @iPullRank and @randfish for the data. dixonjones.com/google-ranking…

Strange curtain situation going on in this hotel?! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sharing that I've been invited to join the board of the fabulous non-profit BARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network). After 24 years in digital, I now get to help inspire adults and kids to work with their imagination in real life, and I cannot wait! bainbridgebarn.org/about/

@rachelburden My wife calls it silver, but my two daughters say, “stop kidding yourself, dad, it’s grey!” ❤️

@MelCarson Wow Mel that feels a looong time ago (also more grey hair here)

10 years ago today I gave a talk on my book, Pioneers of Digital, to some nice people at AXA in the UK. The event was MC’d by the fabulous @rachelburden from the BBC. It was before children, hence the absence of grey hair! 🤣 And, yes, that’s my trusty #windowsphone ☎️

Happy Holidays to all our employees, clients, friends, family and furry companions! ❄️🎄🍾❤️ Hats off to our incredible Creative Studios team for putting this together! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

i/o is a masterpiece!

Can people cheer me up with pictures of your gardens and pets please

Reminds me of when were on @Escape_Country melcarson.com/social-media-e… @TheHodge 🤣🤣🤣 #escapetothecountry

@MordyOberstein @iPullRank Thank you!

I'll take it from here Mike! I'm clearly biased towards Wix not only because they feed my family but also because I see the product dev first-hand. From an SEO POV - I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying we've invested more than any platform out there in recent years. Just a quick rundown: 1) We offer a 1-click connection to GSC that gets your homepage instantly indexed. There are also a heap of GSC insights that get pulled in as well 2) We offer automated redirects on many pages and automatically add Structured Data Markup to product pages, blog pages, etc 3) We auto-cache pages, compress images and convert them to webP 4) We have built-in KW research courtesy of @semrush (As well as apps from @lumarhq @SERanking @getuberall, etc.) 5) We have a built-in on-page SEO audit tool for blog pages, etc More on our SEO offering: wix.com/seo/learn/wix-… On the builder side, we have an integration with chatGPT to help build content, a free AI image creator, etc. There's a full stack dev tool in there - wix.com/velo Wix Studio, our new platform lets you build out templates and widgets and apps that you can reuse on multiple sites, allows you to customize the CSS, and collaborate better on the site build etc. wix.com/studio I can go on and on but if you have ANY questions just let me know :)

Any of my SEO / internet marketing friends have an opinion on easy peasy website design platforms? Just want to create a few page showcase site with minimal fuss and cost. Are Squarespace or WIX any good these days? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice everyone!
