Am I the only one that thinks fact checking with search and complimentary AI creative would be nice to have across platforms at this point? People respond best to images, videos and emojis 😂 Grammarly, citations via fact checking, and general rich media creation just seems like common sense now.

Is California losing its ground as the place to do business in the U.S.? If it’s not California then where are things shifting to? It sounds like Texas but not entirely sure.
In the 1930s, German and Italian scientists of principle fled to the US and became the backbone of our scientific and technical advantage, creating massive US wealth. Those who benefited most from their work are now… fleeing to chase lower tax rates. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/t...

I think what’s missing here that @profgalloway.com doesn’t address is that to extract rare earth minerals in Greenland you can’t do so without much needed uranium. This is something in contest in Europe. The world needs this and Denmark needs to relax on it asap so Greenland can produce.
Launching a regime change in Venezuela for oil is like invading Costa Rica for sand,,,

@ianlurie.bsky.social noted this and other industry folks have been adamant of it. What’s old is new. Social bookmarking PR bonanza 😆
We've done some tests on recency bias but not like this, love this post and how they're testing and theorizing on updating posts and how different models bias one way or the other, also loved the small updates to test.

If Google wants to eliminate webspam from PBNs consider robots.txt blocking Moz, Ahrefs, SEMRush crawlers. Then deep scan outbound link ratios to content consistency. Discount domain types a further consideration. Drop accordingly, with low processing. Web interactions take too long.

Does anyone else find Gemini’s persistence to hold onto ideas frustrating? You ask it about different things and it hangs on the original thought in working memory while not evolving at all. It’s like a drunk at a wedding right or that unhelpful clerk at the store that blathers without clarity.

Accounts seem to be trolling Google on X to get a response. In both cases they say nothing. I assume it’s auto responses or something shooting into a feeder for social media DM aggregation.

Dear Googlers please fix share link length for Google SERPs because IOS representative of 58% of mobile devices in English speaking countries breaks up SMS/ iMessage. Unsure about Android but this needs to be patched ASAP.

Sustainable business mean doing practical things with sometimes impractical solutions but with a clear outcome in mind. I’m not sure some of these companies have overly defined profitable goal which is concerning.

Amateur marketing agencies can easily detected by their push to blog in the local space. Signal to noise ratio is the key to success in every business. The focus should be on services and solutions clients need. If it doesn’t move the bottom line it’s a distraction from success.
