@ZoeSchiffer Great way to make advertisers even angrier — change ad specs on the fly and most likely tank how they perform.

NEW: Twitter is shrinking the size of its ads following a tweet from Elon Musk that said “the ads are also way too big.” Per Slack, the company is enlarging its ad spacing to 6 tweets between ads rather than the previous ML-based ad spacing & cutting the ads height by half.

@NellyMorel Renelly you’re a rockstar —- sending you so much love 💙💙

I’d take the three months

@sarafischer Super interesting to me how many Brand handles have joined (putting more direct pressure than individual SMM handles). Haven’t seen that before.

We are all awaiting anxiously for ⁦@elonmusk⁩ to speak to advertisers with ⁦@robinw⁩ and ⁦@yoyoel⁩ — Keep in mind, Musk has addressed advertisers many times in the past week and a half. — He still has yet to address employees directly. twitter.com/i/spaces/1RDGl…

@sarafischer And his poll between political correctness and free speech certainly didn’t help either. Untrue dichotomy and alienates advertisers further.

@sarafischer Absolutely correct

1/ Advertisers I’ve spoken to know the past 24 hours feel skeptical about Twitter as a brand safe platform because of the way Musk has conducted himself. The Paul Pelosi tweet, etc. The departure of leadership who they trusted on thorny issues @SEP @leslieberland doesn’t help

And I would be overjoyed to write referrals, make connections, etc. !

Sending love to all former Tweeps out there. Some of the best people I’ve ever gotten the opportunity to work with. And sending love to all remaining Tweeps, too, knowing the challenges ahead are significant and your job isn’t the one you signed up for 💙💙💙

Judge William H. Hooks is running for another term. Hooks is the judge that sentenced Ryne San Hamel to ten days in jail after he, drunk and speeding, fatally struck cyclist Bobby Cann in 2013. Do not vote for this man. Do not let his “tough on police” history sway you.

My visit to @babcockranchfl the 100% solar-powered village of 2,000 homes that never lost power during Hurricane Ian, and thanks to resilient planning and wetlands protection, did not flood.

@CaseyNewton For whatever reason I don’t have that issue on the mobile app but it’s fully like that via desktop, and then it’s like every third tweet is someone I don’t know or an irrelevant topic

Something wild is going on with Twitter recommendations right now. One of my alt accounts is now like 30 percent ‘shirts that go hard,’ 20 percent ‘no context brits,’ and then some of these.

@MikeIsaac Hard to square economic downturn in the ads business with holding companies beating expectations this past Q. Feels like FB blaming the ecosystem instead of fixing its own issues advertisers have been complaining about for years

"We seem to have entered an economic downturn that will have a broad impact on the digital advertising business The situation seems worse than it did a quarter ago." — Zuckerberg on earnings call right now

Meta (Facebook) sees first ever quarterly revenue decline as a public company and its outlook for next quarter is not looking hot. revenue sinking fast Also CFO Dave Wehner moving to new role as "Chief Strategy Officer" nytimes.com/2022/07/27/tec…

@LouPas @readmark @KirkMcD_ @WPP @GroupMWorldwide Agreed, but would’ve been better to be released by a third party as the likelihood that other holdcos will use this is probably slim. Would be interesting to see how it compares to/includes data from third parties like Scope3

This is a real issue. Marketing/advertising/programmatic creates a disproportionate carbon footprint that is not a good look for our industry. Applaud @readmark, @KirkMcD_ and the leadership team at @WPP and @GroupMWorldwide for taking on this important issue!

Like with all teenagers, Twitter and I have a tumultuous relationship #MyTwitterAnniversary

On Monday, I saw Nancy Pelosi speak about climate policy here in Miami Beach. I came away convinced that Democratic leaders don’t even understand the once-in-a-decade moment that they’re botching: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

The amount Elon Musk just paid for Twitter ($44 billion) is nearly equal to Biden’s proposed climate budget ($44.9 billion), in case anyone's wondering how seriously we’re taking the climate crisis

Very thankful I do not need to write any hot takes today

@KurtWagner8 One of the biggest shareholders can’t even use the right Twitter logo 🤦🏻‍♀️

At least one big Twitter shareholder says Musk’s offer is insufficient
