Is there a smart way to leave a social media platform? We quit Facebook. Here's a look at our multi-part plan.
For a few months, we'd been thinking about whether or not to continue maintaining Upswept's Facebook page.

Why do users turn to AI search?
Does AI search find relevant results?
Are they accurate results?

As Grumpy AI Skeptics, we're not surprised to see the recent rush to optimize for AI search. The trouble is, we also lowkey expect that the extreme push to optimize will basically make AI search worthless.

Today for our Community Day, we made dozens of sandwiches to distribute thru the PDX Free Fridge project. Even with SNAP benefits restored in Oregon, food insecurity is still an ongoing problem.
Sammies are now at fridges in SE, NE, and N PDX. Learn more about it: sites.google.com/view/pdx-fre...

You might have noticed that, as your business has grown, you don't need the same website support as a brand-new business does.
And those years of experience often come with some growing pains. Sometimes, those growing pains clog up your website and ruin your user experience.

The other day, we had to rescue an accidentally-deleted page on a client’s website.
This wasn't exactly an uncommon occurrence for this client. Another agency had built their website, and long story short, it was a mess under the hood.
