Search wars 2023, or the danger of relying on one black box API:. Bing is raising their search API pricing by 3.5x. So it’s 2.5c per query now - expensive for startups like DDG, Neeva, You dot com that all depend on Bing, even with a discount.

That NFT “scan now” ad during the first break was a massive fail. The QR code went to a Twitter user profile that only gained ~20k followers. $300+ Cost Per Action. Good thing they raised $200M #SuperBowl.

Awesome case study for a website redesign for anyone thinking about optimizing their top of funnel.
As a startup, @Sprig faces the same challenge our customers face: wanting to move fast, but with conviction. Last week, @lizwalton and I worked on an update to the @Sprig marketing homepage. We built and launched it in a week - with the confidence that comes with user research.

Great way to retain employees and boost morale! At least give them a huge bonus….
NEW: Twitter is planning to start charging $20 a month for verification. It’s Elon Musk’s first big project. Oh, and the team building it was told they will all be fired if they don’t meet a launch deadline of November 7th.
