MailOnline says it’s lost 89% of clicks from Google when AI Overviews appear. Even ranking #1 now means half the traffic gone.

In the strange world of marketing podcasting, we are first in Bosnia today. We are a big deal in Sri Lanka too. 🤭🙈
We are 28th in the UK this morning, but does Bosnia mean I can claim we are now the top 1? I think my mates Jon Evans and Phill Agnew might have something to say about that. 🤣

The BBC’s @spenley.bsky.social once:
📱 Called the iPad a “stupid idea” (6 hrs before launch)
🎵 Told Spotify’s founder it would never work
🚁 Survived a £2,000 drone crash

Billy McFarland, who was convicted of fraud over the Fyre Festival disaster, has just sold the brand rights on eBay for just $245,300, which is only 20 times the cost of one of his original luxury tent tickets. 🙈
I wonder if he got any cash for the Netflix special? Thoughts?

So sad and sorry to hear about Diogo Jota being killed in a car accident this morning. I am truly stunned. He was 28. What a horrible bit of news.
He has brought me and my family so much joy over the last few years. He was brilliant. So very sad - you feel like you know him. His poor family. RIP
