@nikitabier Congrats! 👏👏

Today we're announcing Paid Partnership labels on posts. X's core value is providing on authentic pulse on humanity. While we want to encourage people to build their businesses on X, undisclosed promotions hurt the integrity of the product and lead people to distrust the content they read on X. This new feature will allow you to comply with regulations, but more importantly: it enables you to be transparent with your followers.

Thanks for the feature, @Inc :) Philly was underperforming for @turo, so @hashtagpaid helped the Turo team run a brand campaign solely focused on the city. Creators picked up cars via the Turo app, went on adventures, shot content, and shared it. Nearly 100 creator posts reached 4M+ people. Now Philly is Turo's fastest growing market. inc.com/annabel-burba/… @annieburba

@scottbelsky Makes me think of @bryan_johnson (documentary released on Netflix today)

on a related note, two core beliefs: if everyone says you’re crazy, you’re either crazy or you’re really onto something. and nothing extraordinary is ever achieved through ordinary means.

observed: some of the boldest / most rewarding career moves i’ve seen friends make were among the most misunderstood. true orthogonal head-scratchers and yet some of these folks built co’s or took on positions that changed industries. good litmus test for bold high ROI move: is it doubted / misunderstood by others enough?

@Chamoen @allenlau @hashtagpaid @twosmallfishvc ❤️

@allenlau @hashtagpaid @twosmallfishvc I met Bryan around 2016 and was super impressed. Well done!

#paid (@hashtagpaid) was one of our first investments at @twosmallfishvc, backing Bryan and Adam over a decade ago. Today, it’s a dominant force in the $24B creator economy, connecting over 100,000 creators with iconic brands like Disney, Sephora, and IKEA. Brands leverage #paid content across every platform. Want proof? Check out the Infiniti commercial, which came from a #paid campaign. Here is a quick recap of the journey in my latest blog post: allensthoughts.com/2024/10/24/pai…

@tobi Yikes

This isn’t going to go away ever, is it? 😄

The visually pleasing Graphic Match cut historically required careful planning in pre production. Now it can be magically added to content with @Adobe Firefly. Structure Reference is a really powerful new feature for creators.

Nice to see our CMO @rogerfigs in Forbes the other week! forbes.com/sites/forbesco…

@bchesky "One of the most important things for a founder or leader to do is set the pace of the team. That pace is governed not by how hard people work, but by how decisive they are. If you want to improve the speed of a company, then make faster decisions" - @bchesky

Powerful and selfless advice. @bchesky is clearly playing a positive-sum game. Excellent listen for a new perspective on scaling companies lennyspodcast.com/brian-cheskys-…

"The people around you have the ability to help you be the best version of yourself. On the flip side, surrounding yourself with the wrong people can bring out the worst in you" - @thisislisaelder

@harleyf @Shopify Oh, wow. Congrats!!

@Shopify news.shopify.com/a-board-member…

Bret Taylor is joining the @Shopify board. This is a big deal. All of us have at some point used a piece of software that has Bret all over it - like Google Maps. He’s an absolute tech industry vet. He’s the perfect addition to our board, with his enterprise knowledge and his unique vision of AI, he will be immediately beneficial to Shopify. Welcome to the Shopify rocketship @btaylor 🚀  news.shopify.com/a-board-member…

@robjama @boomvisionco Congrats!

It's fun to debate remote vs. back-to-office, but that’s not our style. We think the best way to complain is to make things! So if you want to come along for the ride, join the waitlist and follow us on twitter @BoomVisionCo ⚡️ getboom.app ⚡️

Excited to share the new product I’ve been working on the last few months! This is something I’ve been thinking about ever since we went remote in 2020. Here’s how we’re bringing the energy back to meetings with Boom⚡️getboom.app (No, it’s not a new Zoom or Loom😉)

@aepstein_ @WHOOP @robbiebent1

Any HRV experts out there? I’ve been stuck in the yellow on my @WHOOP for the past week. All other metrics outside of HRV have remained stable, but my HRV is trending downwards Been no material changes to activity / stress levels. Thinking seasonal allergies affecting breathing but idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

@scottbelsky Agreed.

i’m only in a couple WhatsApp groups where AI members have been added, for fun/testing purposes. but I’m already wondering at times if responses from others I am texting are human or GPT generated. realizing: this will increasingly become the new norm.

@laura_buhler @felicis Congrats! 🎉

📣 Career update: I joined @felicis as a Partner this week. #community is a superpower for those who do it well, and I couldn't be more grateful to build this out at one of the world's most outstanding firms, and for our talented group of founders & teams.
