@SEO_Suedwest @rustybrick @glenngabe @lilyraynyc @aleyda @JohnMu I see it here in Edge.

Microsoft Edge Browser does not show Google AI Overviews. Can you confirm @rustybrick @glenngabe @lilyraynyc @aleyda ? Maybe @JohnMu has some Info on this? seo-suedwest.de/10553-microsof…

Salt Spring Island #earthquake off #yyj earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

Yes, just updated as a 3.1 off Salt Spring Island. Definitely felt the house shudder.

Well that sure felt like an #earthquake #yyj

How can I stop this person from using my email address for ordering? When I attempt to get into the account, I can verify the 6 digit code from my email, but then it sends another 6 digit code to their phone (I guess added from their order?) so I can't ever login Help! @shoptemu

@shoptemu Some scammer used my email address (without ever verifying it!) for tons of orders, I keep getting hit with constant order/shipping/FedEx emails. How can I make this stop? Their phone number they used with ordering was added as 2FA so I cannot login.

Either Googlebot is doing bad things, or @porterairlines has set something wrong in how it handles Googlebot LOL

@rustybrick @MordyOberstein To be fair, if some of those emoji download sites weren't so atrocious with usability and aggressive ad serving, there wouldn't have been such a huge demand for it. It is so bad that when I had to download some recently for a project, I dusted off <nameless browser> just for it.

Have you seen the emoji kitchen in Google Search - I mean @MordyOberstein can't contain himself - story updated at seroundtable.com/google-search-…

@SiteGround I was pleased with how quickly it was done! And thankful it wasn't the two days LOL!

Hi Jennifer, rest assured that we begin the upgrade process as soon as possible after your request. When moving from shared to cloud hosting, we transfer your sites to a different server and machine altogether, which is why we recommend not making changes during this time to avoid data loss. This is also why you may not have full access to some tools during the migration. We aim to handle all requests, especially upgrades as swiftly as possible. In your case, the upgrade was completed in under 2 hours and you can see a confirmation of this in your Support History section. Our support remains available 24/7 in case you need assistance, reach us from the help center anytime!

I hate the fact that when you upgrade a hosting plan that it just locks your sites for "up to 2 days" for the upgrade. I thought I could still get work done and just backup then re-add after, but nope... @siteground actually locks the databases as soon as you upgrade :(

You can add “-ai” to your search to hide Google’s AI overview in the search results. I bet it will become the next adding “reddit” to the search query trick (unless Google decides to break it?) Also, fun party trick: try searching “-ai” on Google Trends and watch it meltdown LOL

Well that is the biggest #earthquake I have felt...

cc @watchdutyapp Please allow non-US Apple users to download and use the app, especially those in California. My account is Canada based and get "This app is currently not available in your country or region." Many who are physically in CA have the same issue right now.

@alexeheath I wish they allowed those with non-US Apple accounts to download. I am in Cali right now, everyone links to it but it isn't available for non-US (or at least not to Canadian) Apple accounts. The web version won't show on mobile, since they want you to download app :(

We talked to the cofounder of Watch Duty, which has become an essential app in LA for tracking the wildfires: - It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit largely supported by volunteers - Has had 100% uptime (and no mistaken evac notices vs the local gov sending THREE accidentally) - Over 1m downloads this week with plans to expand to more of the US/oversees - “We view what we are doing as a public service.”

I have seen lots of news sources in an overview of someone well known... first time I have seen a Reddit thread, especially one only 5 hours old... with random Ryan Gosling laughing meme as the image.

Why hasn't Google figured out better targeting for "what people are saying" yet. The search "shoes" and we have someone stealing shoes (from a parody channel no less), someone deliberately dirtying and cleaning shoes, funny shoe barcrawl from Barstool Sports, and sports betting.

Why is @CocaCola using an AI agency to create videos, when neither they nor the agency bother to check to make sure the logo is right... Coca-Loola LOL adforum.com/creative-work/…

All SEOs right now are playing the "is this the fallout from the end of the core algo update / is this the spam update / is this just because it's Christmas" game.

I watched White Christmas on the big screen today and was like "ooh, a ticket pocket!" that Bing Crosby was wearing (which never seemed to hold tickets LOL) compliments of @dieworkwear teaching us about them... I would love his take on all the menswear in this movie!

I feel like BC could have tested the emergency alert system on a day when a good portion of the province aren’t already under major storm warnings and with so many without power.
