AI marketing without human creativity and input is like a vending machine: it works, but lacks the smile of a cashier and the jokes of a barista

Startups and SMBs should pick a subscription-based marketing service!

It scales, aligns with their needs, is cost-effective, and benefits from experts focused on specific channels, not generalists.

Agree?

I'd be rich if I got $1 for every "Is WordPress secure?" query.

Yes, especially with Jetpack.com

Is it already a success if digital agencies in the UK are running ads on my last name?

Honestly, not sure but fun to see 🤓

Minute of sarcasm: Apparently, Elon had a little mix-up and hit the "off" switch on Twitter when he meant to aim for Starlink

Classic multitasking! 😉🚀

Insightful read on ROI vs. VOI by @amandanat.bsky.social - exactly what I needed to snap out of my numbers daze!

You might call me a dinosaur, but AI can't replace human relationships!

While AI impresses by speeding up and automating tasks, receiving a handwritten note and postcard from Csaba Rakasz about the automattic.com and wellweb.marketing partnership is truly delightful and engaging 🤗

In 1 day 🍎 announces that our grandparents already know

So, punchlines:
- your phone has more bloatware than my grandma’s collection of plastic containers
- your phone’s resale value plummets faster than my mood on a Monday morning
- your phone’s performance is as dependable as a weather forecast

2017: Microsoft shutdowns Windows Mobile
2019: PWAs enter the arena

Just 2 years between the platform's demise and the emergence of technology that could have saved it

As a former Windows Phone enthusiast, this still hurts 💔

Would you want to see Windows Phone with PWAs in 2024?

Is it magic? ✨

While I had coffee ☕️, the Goose agent by @blocks, with Claude AI, adapted my Chrome extension for Firefox 🦊

Is it just me, or is this mind-blowing? 🤯

P.S. Let's see Firefox's response 🔥

Microsoft Clarity vs Google Analytics

I created the Chrome extension to speed up routine work for my team and me. It helps check the SEO positions for your domain and competitors across different countries and languages, and you can export the top 100 results to CSV or JSON

I used to test AI on various math tasks that I help my kids with (of course, only after we completed them ourselves) 🥸

This time, the 4th-grade math task was solved only by my son (with a hint from me), ChatGPT o1, and Gemini 2.0 Flash 🥳

Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 1.5 Pro provide wrong answers 🤪

When it comes to budget, price is king. With LLMs and AI agents now affordable, setting up an eComm site with @Shopify or @WooCommerce is a breeze without breaking the bank. But mobile app development? That's where the investment traditionally ramps up

It seems AI agents will emerge this year, deeply integrating into routine business processes and potentially addressing overstaffing issues. I'm curious who will be the first. My bet is on @AnthropicAI or @OpenAI.

Smartphones today are so powerful and equipped with apps of every kind that we can do almost anything from anywhere, even from the "ceramic throne" 🚽

The remaining challenge is to organize operational processes like sales, warehousing, and delivery efficiently, without overstaffing
