Here's how Bing's AI chat will change decades of SEO and programmatic learning: “An AI that can endlessly articulate anything you wish to know about a given subject, over time, will lead people to use the open web less."
So you can't get ShangChi Marvel movie on streaming? But a few weeks ago you could get Black Widow? I thought they said Scarlett Johansson was being insensitive to the pandemic with her lawsuit, by suggesting her movie should be in theaters? Weird.
Elizabeth Warren's campaign used news stories as campaign ads. One altered a BuzzFeed headline and another looked like a Bloomberg article speaking favorably of her, but it was a Salon article
What brands learned at YouTube Brandcast: New ads designed specifically for CTV and YouTube claims it accounts for 40% of ad-supported watch time in digital video
And now that I am thinking of catchy songs. Anyone also not able to get K-Pop group Blackpink out of your head since they appeared on Colbert. What is "hit you with that dudu dudu du."

The Karate Kid / Cobra Kai reboot really tarnishes the inspiring character development Johnny made rejecting the "no mercy" code at the end of the original.

It basically says everyone colluded: "Google has also actively worked with Big Tech competitors to undermine government efforts to enhance users’ privacy ... a closed-door meeting on August 6, 2019 between the five Big Tech companies ..."
IGTV gets another look from stars like

Oh man, I hope it continues the Solo story line and we get some Emilia Clarke, too. Don't let us down. Solo and Glover's performance, and the whole thing were just totally overlooked as the gems they were.

Macron is trying to win him over. That's the best way for the West to get Trump on our side. If all it takes is an ego stroke. Great!
Snapchat's comment on how it vets media sources on Discover, which continues to be one of its most prescient moves along with disappearing videos and AR: "We have never allowed Russian state media to distribute content."
What makes Frances Haugen a compelling Facebook whistleblower is her story is believable. She said she wanted to work for Facebook because she had seen the dangers of disinformation that turns friends and relatives into people we don't recognize. A lot of people have seen that.

TikTok's quick turnaround marketing team behind "It Starts on TikTok" reworked the Ocean Spray Fleetwood Mac video into a TV spot running in the MLB and NBA playoffs.
Now, with
@Ryanbarwick
saying IPG is first major holding co to implement a Twitter freeze, more chips could fall. No agency wants to be the last to report to their brands that they kept them in a bad spot.
NYC has been a free-for-all for business innovation for 400 years, it is what makes this the greatest city ever conceived. Inviting Amazon is not what would change the city, closing the gates to them is the change we can't afford, the NYC character we can't lose.

@DuckDuckGo
I use it, but it is nowhere near as useful as Google. You forget how many little features Google embeds in results that make information faster, and the results are 100 times more relevant. You have to submit multiple variations of terms to DuckDuckGo that Google just predicts.
That's it, NYC is over. Just heard this company called UHaul opened, which apparently is a way to move, and a lot of NYers use it. Don't be surprised if you see these big "UHaul" trucks around town. I wonder if they will cause some traffic issues, too. We'll see. Could get bad.
I don't want to overstate this, but there is a case to be made that Scarlett Johanssen was the best thing to happen to that franchise. She was in Iron Man, Capt. America, Avengers I, II, III and IV. And she is like the only one who didn't make it out. Sorry spoilers.
@SenRonJohnson
No, that's not what the US intel community has said on this matter. There is now convincing proof that Russia hacked the highest level of DC, the parts run by the administration. Calling that fake news would be a dereliction of a sworn commitment to faithfully defend the U.S.

It should also be noted the Northeast had zero warning this was on our shores, in our cities, from health offices at federal and international levels that are supposed to be the first line of defense. There is no excuse to be caught off guard now.

Instagram hosted an influencer marketing breakfast this morning in NYC and said branded content ads are coming, new way to reach more people and use targeting. Fake followers won't be as much a concern
Facebook makes $34 on average per user. Snapchat makes $3.40 on average per users, which is neatly on par with exactly what ad buyers say they see in their ad auctions. Snap ads cost 1/10th as much, says

Facebook follows suit also blocking Trump for a timeout period, like Twitter: We've assessed two policy violations against President Trump's Page which will result in a 24-hour feature block, meaning he will lose the ability to post on the platform during that time.
I am hearing that even brands that are not officially announcing, there are plenty that want to avoid Facebook in fear of just getting called out with their ads running. Too much heat.
Netflix make this movie: Drew Barrymore gets amnesia forgets she has the worst boyfriend. That's Adam Sandler. And she then goes back out in the world with a clean mental slate and falls in love with Jennifer Aniston.
TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer says it will open its whole platform allow people to "examine the actual code that drives our algorithms." A lot of creators would love to know what is driving their success or not. Anyone think Google will ever released the algo.
Inside Netflix's ad switch: “Advertising is an expensive business to run, it’s a hard business to run, and if you’ve never run an ads business before, like Netflix, you go kicking and screaming into these things.”

So his plan is to keep advertising growing at likely unrealistic goals, while magically implementing another revenue generating business that's even larger, and no one else has thought of.

Infections and deaths continue to decline under NY's social distancing rules. These stats here prove it works. The whole effort is run under social distancing guidelines to the extent possible, including the use of PPE. Not only does it work, but it's the only thing that works.
As I was writing about why a lot of brands are waiting out the election, holding back on ads on Twitter and FB. I see a Kohl's ad, and replies like this. Case in point.
Amazon held off for 6 years, but finally officially integrates Twitch into the Amazon ad platform. Forever it promised to keep Twitch removed and on its own. But forever always comes.
I'm concerned if Doge Bonk runs into Fluf World at

It's absurd on its face. If you are literally the Capitol Police, you have one job, and you haven't imagined how a mob could storm the building, it's basically the first security threat you'd gameplan for.
FB ad boycott could be bigger than people think, with many brands going quiet for July, quietly, and hundreds doing so publicly. Here are some charts that show a few high-profile brands spending on FB this year. Coke, Unilever, Starbucks and Clorox
Warrens says there is no way to know if internet forums pumping stocks are actually driven by "average joes" or some other forces. It's not a leap, since average joes have been drafted into similar movements online by larger forces than themselves before.
Casino-like swings in stock prices of GameStop reflect wild levels of speculation that don’t help GameStop’s workers or customers and could lead to market instability. Today I told the SEC to explain what exactly it's doing to prevent market manipulation.
There was a little Easter egg at the end of the FB Meta ad, with a brief flash of tickets to Foo Fighters, who are playing in VR after the game. Wasn't on screen long enough to know what it was.

Disney is making ad tech moves with its 'clean room' that works with Snowflake, InfoSum and Habu to connect marketers to data. It also brought in Horizon Media and looks at deal with The Trade Desk.
