@XOptimiser That’s awesome. Hope it goes great! Open source it if it does please

I've spent the last 3 weeks designing an extremely intricate Murder Mystery game together with my AI buddy - backstories, clues, print-outs, props, etc. Tonight I have 22 people coming over to play it, and I will discover if it's good or if I have AI psychosis.

@AdamFlamm @TheSalonDon Your grandfather liberated both of my grandparents then. From my family to yours, thank you.

A lot of people felt the same about fighting the Nazis. My grandfather was among those that freed the prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp. He would never speak of what he experienced, as it was too overwhelming. We are fortunate to not see that level of pure evil in our country. That does not mean it does not exist elsewhere. I don't know how I would feel about my kids fighting in such a war. Risking their lives for freedom of people that will never know them or thank them.

I will happily die defending my neighborhood on home soil But I’ll go to jail before I fight in Europe or the Middle East

Great weekend to reread this classic from @waitbutwhy waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artifi…

@danGlazer @wook_chuck @phish This looks like Phish's epic "Ghost" jam from their July 6, 1998, show at Lucerna Theatre in Prague. Trey Anastasio's sleeveless, machine-gun shredding is legendary here—pure face-melting intensity!

98 Sleeveless Machine Gun Trey was an absolute force who could melt your face right off of your head very quickly 🔥⭕️🔥⭕️🔥⭕️🔥⭕️🔥 ⭕️ @phish

@TrungTPhan I never understood why Facebook didn’t immediately do this when they bought occulus. Obvious killer app

Wow, the new Apple Vision Pro NBA app is unreal. This courtside footage from yesterday’s Lakers vs. Bucks game is sick.

@CJHandmer Just asked mom who came from Germany after the war: “It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in.”

I asked my grandparents what their grandparents told them of the voyage to Australia, a clear historical parallel with Mars colonization. Apparently nothing, other than it was long.

@stoolpresidente Just a few small high noons

Did High Noon just get a new marketing campaign? “A couple high noons made me do it”

Every @AliaLearn customer is about to get this bump. @iamshaanarora lfg

We've seen some *insane* results on the SMS/RCS channel over the last few days. Tons of 7-figure days. Many brands with SMS beating email rev. As today is SMS Sunday, I wanted to highlight a few. These are the results we specialize in. P.S. Send a text (or 3) today!

@Bbruhis Congrats man! Just grabbed a few boxes💪Keep crushing

I’M LAUNCHING A BRAND TODAY FOR MY 35th!!! Protein couscous called Boostcous 👨‍🍳 Two years ago I made a promise to myself: Launch my own brand by 35. Today I kept that promise. What the last 2 years looked like: > Started in my kitchen making small batches on nights and weekends. > Ran Kno full-time while testing recipes every night > Found a co-manufacturer to partner with on production Two years of nights and weekends to get here And this experience has been humbling AF. I've spent 10 years advising DTC brands. Now I finally get to walk the talk. I'm using Kno to track everything. Customer attribution, persona building, creative angles. And I'm building this completely in public. Real lessons, what works and what doesn't. Kno is still my top priority and we've got some exciting releases coming soon. But now I get to build Boostcous alongside the DTC community (love yall) If you want to grab a box: Boostcous dot com And if you're building something, drop it below. Let's do this together. Here's to keeping promises 🎂

@pitdesi Epic!

@braveben Just got my next excuse to visit SF 🔥

Saga has a new workspace available for interesting humans in our portfolio and beyond here in Jackson Square. Text me and a desk shall appear

Proud to deliver this huge win for Postscript customers

I am so pumped to share this... we WON in texas. This means all Postscript customers are carved out from SB140 (the new texas sms law). To be extra clear, if you are a Postscript customer or EIA member, no registeration, bonding, disclosures, waking hours, etc. If you aren't a PS customer or EIA member, or you already registered in Texas, your situation is more complicated and you'll want to do your diligence. Unfortunately there's been tons of misinformation and bad advice spread by other players around this topic. Stoked to secure the bag for all our customers! And if you aren't a PS customer but want to work with by-far the industry leading SMS platform, you know where to find me 🙂 More from me below and in the blog post.

Great launch, FULL agree. Conversations are the new storefront. BUT…. 1. ChatGPT has the same platform risk that has come with Meta & all socials historically 2. There's no way to integrate your owned marketing (explicitly states you can’t get people to sign up for email/SMS) 3. No visibility into the customer data provided in the conversations As always, marketers should have both platform strategies and owned strategies: That’s why we’re building the owned version of this that lets merchants… 1. Keep and OWN the data that their customers give them (chats, product preferences, personal info). Huge asset. 2. Initiate conversations on-demand (send SMS) 3. Increase conversion rate through perfectly trained and optimized sales agents

@pitdesi @sfchronicle They nailed Strauss as the most delicious though

The @sfchronicle ran a blind ice cream taste test and deemed Haagen-Dazs more delicious than San Francisco stalwarts Bi-Rite and Humphry Slocombe. I’m dubious of their taste buds but the test design was sound- I think I need to run my own test…

@gvitt @bryce @braveben @braveben @gvitt y’all are too kind ☺️ @bryce dm’d you

If you work in tech in Utah- who is the best sales leader you know? Someone great at hiring, training and scaling GTM teams here. Working on something local and would love to talk to as many great ones as possible.

I have major news to share. But I wanted to let this play out in court before I spoke about it here. Over 2.5 years ago @attentiveHQ sued @PostscriptIO for patent infringement over their “two tap” technology. And in the years since, they’ve spent millions of dollars on lawfare, preferring to push a weak infringement case vs competing in the market with innovation. Well a few weeks ago, a US District Court in Delaware ruled against Attentive, concluding that “[a]ll of Attentive’s claims of patent infringement (of any type) have now been resolved in Postscript’s favor” and threw out all of Attentive’s claims. Pretty good 🙂 But that's not the end of the story… In an effort to defend ourselves against their lawfare, we countersued. And last week, a jury in Delaware found Attentive liable for infringement on our Campaign Flows patent, and awarded us over $1.5M in damages. Yep–you read that right. They sued us, and ended up being the liable party + paying us damages. Now that’s justice. Maybe the biggest Uno Reverse Card I can remember. But, I still have a sour taste in my mouth. Why? Well, Attentive wasn’t exactly silent about their allegations over the last few years. They’ve left the market with the impression that Postscript infringed on their IP, which a court found to be false. But is anyone really surprised they went this route? Unfortunately, it’s extremely on brand. Ever since we exposed their bullying antics with phone number list holding, or pushed back on some of their other aggressive tactics over the years, we haven’t exactly been Attentive’s favorite. So we figured something like this might happen. The funny thing is, we aren’t against the idea of protecting your IP, especially when it’s actually innovative and the facts are strong. Postscript has a bunch of patents. But, in our opinion, their litigation was never about protecting intellectual property. And so they sued us. Without merit, as the Court has now found. In fact, Onsite Opt In replaced Two Touch popups over a year ago and has shown superior results consistently for merchants. But Attentive wanted to keep the suit going, clearly prioritizing lawfare and bullying over building better products for customers. Did they learn their lesson from the list holding controversy? Nope. Because this was always about a larger company that’s raised enormous sums of money with a historical pattern of bully tactics trying to push around a smaller, more innovative competitor. One that's become a thorn in their side, that they're afraid to compete with in the market. It’s a bummer they behave this way, because (contrary to what you might believe) we do welcome healthy competition. We want brands to win, we want the market to win, and it’s been frustrating to have to correct the record that we did not infringe on Attentive’s IP. At the same time, they’ve been banging the drum for years that they had a unique, disruptive technology that was exclusive to Attentive that could only be used by Attentive customers. That’s why we felt it was so important to defend ourselves and our customers and prove that Attentive didn’t really own what they said they did. And of course along the way, we did what we are known for, we innovated and launched something WAY more performant for list growth - Onsite Opt In. We left the outdated technology behind while Attentive continued litigating, burning resources on the past rather than innovating for the future. I truly wonder what their calculus has been–they’ve spent millions on this meritless lawsuit, all to have a court and jury declare that (1) Postscript’s two touch popups did not infringe and (2) in fact Attentive has been the one infringing on Postscript’s IP. Has this been a good use of time and money? What is the strategy over there? Why do they behave like this? Whatever the reason, we are proud to be vindicated by the court in this way. We will continue to do what we always do - innovate on behalf of our customers to make their SMS program as performant as possible. In fact, we’ve been so successful at innovation, Attentive has had to use our patented technology to keep up. We’ll continue setting the pace on behalf of Postscript customers everywhere. More to come, I’m sure. We will keep fighting the good fight. Thanks for your continued support!

Upset about the new Texas SMS law? The Ecommerce Innovation Alliance, Flux Footwear, and Postscript are suing the state to enjoin it. They argue that the registration requirements violate the First Amendment and fail to provide fair notice of what conduct is prohibited.
