@POTUS please do as @gillibrandny asks! Tell the Archivist to certify the ERA. You have nothing to lose. Women in the USA should have equal rights under the law! Make enshrined gender equality part of your legacy.

@Mintmobile when will your customers be able to have wireless service via their Apple Watches?

@VancityReynolds When will MINT SIM customers be able to get wireless service via their Apple Watches?

@Mintmobile will you support iPhone 15? Surprised you haven’t got it on your website compatibility menu.. 🤨

Why don’t we get any data from a data hound like Linkedin? Example: The Great Purge of Summer 2023. linkedin.com/posts/andyfoot…

@NickB2005 Friend of mine lost 4,000 followers today. Must be doing it in phases. LI did message it, said they were removing fakes/bots.

Guess it’s my turn… LinkedIn has deleted like 5k followers from me it just keeps going down but no message or anything. 🤷‍♂️

@AvenueTP 👍👍👍

Big change coming. The end of the Facebookization of LI? I certainly hope so.. 'Value' takes time and effort (and knowledge). 'Social' belongs in comments, not posts. lnkd.in/ef9TPSDn Andy x #OptimaBlue lnkd.in/dg4weZTs

Uh. What's this? "Conversations happening now". Me no likey. 1. Invasive* - pollution of my profile page. 2. Irrelevant** - who are these people? 3. Did they pay?** "Share your thoughts on reposts curated for you". Ok. They are curated for me? How?…lnkd.in/g4UnqsuM

3 Theories on why IMPRESSIONS are down (significantly) from last year: 1. There are more users here*, so there are fewer eyeballs on content. 2. LI is gearing up for 'pay to play'** by restricting potential audience. 3. Views (impressions) are kind of a…lnkd.in/d-aJB__q

Are there any conclusions to be drawn from LI asking us about the Feed? 1. Concern that the content being piped to us is irrelevant? 2. Testing our perception of value? 3. An admission that whatever they're doing to answer 1. and 2. (algos, dwell time et…lnkd.in/gm6-dyWS

You know what can’t be faked by AI? Live quizzy events with a bearded, British accented, court jestery host. Featuring #OptimaBlue contestants (guinea pigs). Tell me in comments if: Tuesday 12 Noon or 6pm (Central US time) works for you. Andy x…lnkd.in/eJuHq6MN

@JohnLegere They don’t have a choice. At some point the iPhone can’t improve. The ski goggles version of the iPhone can improve plenty. Jonny should come back to help with the design.

Excited to see about Apple has in store and how this rumored headset could change the game. What do you think? Are you excited? cnn.com/2023/06/02/tec…

@profgalloway Your tweet won’t age well Prof. They’ll be worn on planes, trains and auto mobiles.

It just feel so right, so intuitive,,,so spatial. This is definitely the next big thing. Yep, 💯.

I single-handedly got rid of Purple Baby (the dumb and negative 'Curious' reaction) and now I’m going to get rid of (the irrelevant and misleading vanity stat) ‘Followers’. Don't be fooled. You don't actually have followers. You have an algo that inserts…lnkd.in/gh6rbE_B

I belong to a private Slack channel, we discuss many areas including LI. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff we say - maybe you would, depends a lot on whether you get it/don't. Recently we discussed commenting on LI. Touched on the concern that some…lnkd.in/gFB-NW3n

If your LI Headline is: More than 50 characters. More than 5 words. It’s not a Headline. It’s a signal that you don’t know how to brand yourself. It shows everyone that you’ve failed to succinctly tell people what you do. That you have chosen a boring…lnkd.in/gq2S87xY
