Same! 😁

Just because fruit is low hanging doesn't mean it's edible or safe to eat.

Yep, I admit - I have bought both the print and kindle versions of the same book by mistake - Do the Work - Steven Pressfield - Kindle in 2016 and then last year the paperback 🤦‍♂️

I like what you did there, I forgot about commenting last year - it seems following the bets on print, and the zombie X didn't quite work out :-/ :-)

Love tiny desk - discovered it during the pandemic - pretty much got me through it :-)

Latest role/client, small team, more hands on, spend a lot of time deep in Hubspot. So with some downtime over the holidays, gave their education/certification a whirl. HS have always led with good content, training is the same. Yes, the product is getting expensive, but this is value for customers

Thanks mate!

Ebeeneezer Good?

Tuesday 2¢ – Gifts and Reciprocation T’is the night before Christmas, and time to think about B2B marketing gifts and, come on, be honest; what you might get in return!

Some thoughts on gifts and reciprocation this week - with a nod to some of the gifts of content and research I've enjoyed receiving this year - iantruscott.com/tuesday-2c-g...

I think henceforth it will be known as...

"to Jaguar"

Sorry!

You said "serious Q" - we do have a problem, that we marketers have ruined a lot of the good words for what you are describing.

Seth's right, but good lord, I always spend too long thinking about tools before I start to do the work. A book? What will I write it with. A website? Let's try this doohickey...

😆 Or... like working for an Enterprise CMS vendor and being forced to use the product... no.. no.. I'd be fine with Wordpress...

Is Matt Mullenweg the Mad King of WordPress? The WordPress co-founder's open-source empire dominates the web. His attack on competitor WP Engine may be putting it at risk.

I use WP and WPengine - and only had a glancing view of what was going on, didn't really impact me - then read this - sounds like you are familar with all of this... wow... www.inc.com/dfreedman/ma...

I Give Bluesky 6 Months Before It Implodes Bluesky isn’t the problem. It’s the tech industry’s unwillingness to learn from its own social media mistakes.

Thoughts?

Nice share - the problem with describing Bluesky (or any platform we've got hopelessly optimistic about) as "like Twitter in 2009" -is it's not 2009. Not just the platform biz models, but everyone wanting their shot at being Gary V, the hustle on all sides - all that was being discovered back then.

Maybe the notion of Santa Claus is creepy and they nailed it? Do you mean choosing Santa's voice for the chat?

I should have tagged you @tomp.bsky.social - I forgot you were here on Bluesky. Nice work!
