Bye Bye CrUX Dashboard, I'll always be nostalgic for your stacked bars of Goodness: developer.chrome.com/blog/crux-da... You can use tamethebots.com/tools/cwv-hi..., the cruxvis.withgoogle.com or one of the many other great free tools that use the CrUX History API.

How to stand out, when anyone can use AI to build anything? For @antonsten.comSten, most people go for “how do we build this”, instead of asking “what should be built that people actually want?”. This leads to a situation, where, most new apps and products, solve, fake problems.

Ever wanted to try and build a search engine? Maybe, maybe not. But if you want to learn more about how search engines work and don’t have the time to try it all for yourself, Wilson has you covered. It’s hard to really summarise the level of detail in this one, so I’d suggest you read it. 🧵 1/2

the iphone 17 looks AI generated and i can't explain why

someone help this guy do the math because he clearly can't display ad revenue is declining display ad revenue relies on websites getting traffic if web traffic is thriving... surely display ad revenue would be thriving there's only so much corporate spin people can take bro

Google’s position is now that the open web Is thriving but open web ads are in rapid decline… because of course all the attention and money leaving a platform is irrelevant to its health lol

Anyone in the UK managed to actually get onto AI Mode yet?

big up whoever did this to michelle agyemang's wikipedia #lionesses

All these posts about passage based focus and chunking and semantic headings and writing with focus and purpose appearing in the SEO space? What the hell have you been doing all these years because this is 101 in my book?

trans rights btw this isn't up for debate

If you’re scaling a ton of (mediocre/bad) content “because AI” or “because GEO”… you’re probably going to have a bad time. It’s not like the “rise of AI search” suddenly made Google/Bing’s algorithms and spam policies irrelevant. 1/2

I don't know if anyone has written about this, but the thing where Google's engineers have designed this software program to spit out text that simulates contrition, grovelling apology feels like something close to admission that they've designed a program they KNOW is fraudulent +are covering it up

What if we think AI Mode as web scrapbooking? A thoroughly "offline" way to think about the future of search, but somehow - for my brain at least - this makes the whole thing more real and tangible. www.chris-green.net/post/ai-mode...

Have we come to a consensus on how we're shortening AI Mode yet (like AIO for AI Overview)? AIM feels like the natural choice...
