apnews.com/article/tiktok… Frank McCourt ends the week with bid proposal for a Tik Tok acquisition. This will have bigger implications for all platforms, data brokers A.I. and the ad tech ecosystem. More importantly, the actual end users and the data rights. Game on! @CNBCTechCheck @jonfortt @FoxBusiness @rwang0 @pro_jectliberty @mikejcasey @cvpayne

Join Frank McCourt and I as we discuss his latest, inspiring and time sensitive work, "Our Biggest Fight". It's a highly insightful, must read at how tech has changed us, for the better in many ways, but also created some perils around trust, privacy and transparency that must soon be addressed. History can be our guide that it's not too late but, we must restore a common-sense foundation to restore society and, as Frank points out, our "personhood". Thank you, Frank McCourt, McCourt Global, Project Liberty, Michael Casey, @OurBiggestFight @pro_jectliberty @mikejcasey

@texasrunnerDFW curious to see what industries typical buyers represent (i.e. tech, software etc). There are so many tech companies that are impacted by cost reductions, AI etc. How much impact do you think that may have on softening home prices. There is correlation there, I believe. Insights (?)

One minute video update on the housing market in the Dallas Suburbs: Sellers are stuck in 2022, buyers are having none of it, and agents are freely admitting how bad it is!

@eric_seufert What if they "an innovator" aligned a trigger to open another window to play free short form "opt in" content during the 90 second advertisement? Its coming...

A Reddit user is exposed to a 90-second, non-skippable YouTube ad in a 40-minute video on CTV.

@eric_seufert What is the optimal balance of content and ads which proves that there is value in the “product” versus being the product yourself in traditional social media (and I guess, commerce)?

"The most successful consumer apps didn't rely on paid advertising to scale!" When unit economics support profitable user acquisition, *not* pursuing advertising leaves money on the table.

@texasrunnerDFW Watch the REIT stocks. IMHO it’s all about a safety net for the anchor properties that fuel surrounding small/medium businesses. Not a bad thing but…

It’s really cool how people mortgaged themselves up the gills for new construction houses in exurbs, right before employers told everyone to return to office and right before gas prices spiked and doubled

First SaaS and now this. Not unexpected but something to watch. I think Google, among a select few, has done an exemplary job of reinventing itself (so far). cnbc.com/2026/03/16/apo…

Amid all the media gloom and doom about #AI overcapacity for data centers, @Oracle's massive RPO growth proves demand for AI infrastructure is real, not a bubble. Tune in to #CloudWars Minute for more on the company's Q3 earnings results. cloudwars.com/cloud-wars-min…

@eric_seufert Thats probably a very insightful graphic, pixelated eyeballs, blurred-vision. Television deployment/adoption, cost curve reduction would never have had happened without advertising. The question is, when is too much...too much?

Worth noting that the television is YouTube's principal device by watch time.

@eric_seufert The sales of TVs were subsidized by advertising, cable networks etc. Its was a natural evolution but wish it hadn't happened that fast with AI. Now we have a bias on top of a bias...

Agree — this is what Netflix did (and continues to do), and it’s the wrong approach to building a scalable, ARPU-optimal advertising product that leverages rich platform signal for maximum revenue and consumer benefit. It’s either a sign of revenue desperation or lack of strategic vision.
Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth)@antoniogm

I started the first programmatic ads product at Meta and was a huge champion of the technology. OpenAI considering an ad tech partner like TTD is wrongheaded, and the worst possible way to build an ads business for such a unique and intent-rich consumer experience. It’s banner and video ads powered by pixels firing on websites, the most legacy ad tech around. Assuming this is true, it means that likely there’s either no internal interest in building this properly, or an utter lack of ads vision.

In February of 2008, unemployment was 4.9% (today it’s 4.4%) By December of 2008, it was 7.2% Here is a chart showing what oil was doing in 2008 (I circled Jan-July of 2008) Did this turn out to be a big inflationary shock?

@texasrunnerDFW Wonder what the wealth transfer amounts will be post baby boomers? I don’t think it’s an optimist outlook at the moment.

@gregisenberg I have a very compelling agentic workflow use case that may provide the a massive domino effect for b2b and b2c AI adoption. Please review my correspondence from earlier today and feel free to reach back out. Thank you! @ideabrowser

@bobevansIT The big players have to focus on accelerating adoption through internal employees, customers and partners. M&A has to be on complete offense like never before looking for new use cases and business models.

As #SaaS valuations swing wildly, Bill McDermott is making a sharp distinction: ServiceNow is not a “feature and function” SaaS vendor but an AI-driven workflow platform connecting data, governance, and enterprise decisions. cloudwars.com/innovation-lea…
