Usually I just delete these random texts, but sometimes I can't resist answering...

I need to edit a clients Apple Maps listing, but Apple wants email verification. However, I am unable to sign into the Brite-mail.com email address that was provided by @brightlocal with our original Citation Builder campaign. Odd. Then I tried several others. NONE of them work anymore.

At one point I thought they would build tiny hard drives and put DVRs into glasses, so I actually bought this domain. You never know what technology might bring, but this won't be it.

I'm SO tired of being supposedly signed up for random Zoom webinars by what are essentially spammers. Finally, after unsubscribing to yet another one, I was offered this:

Court rulings hand Automattic two victories but WP Engine gets to proceed with nine claims and amend others. via @martinibuster.bsky.social #wpnews

Now that actual retirement is imminent (literally under 1000 days ;) my next step was to sign up as a volunteer to help new businesses with their websites & internet marketing. #SEO

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

@whitespark.ca my client loves your newsletter

@semrushofficial.bsky.social when did you remove the 1 million monthly API units from the business plan? I already emailed support and they merely verified that they were discontinued. When did this change, and was there any notice or announcement?

If you are in #WebDevelopment you should know this chatgpt.com/share/68a372... (and if I were on a jury I would vote against you every time).

Fun fact: In Akureyri Iceland all the stop signals are hearts.

@inmotionhosting.bsky.social Alyssa was awesome helping me resolve an SPF error before heading to the airport. Hopefully she'll tell you about the phone support auto disconnecting...

Since @Google killed off caching, it seems only fair to donate something - anything - to archive.org since without them we'd be totally screwed.

HetrixTools seems to be a great alternative to paying Uptimerobot for monitoring domain uptimes.

Just had a zoom session where the fact that I had solved the exact same issue before, with hours of researching and cursing, enabled me to totally solve it in about 7 minutes.

So what's up with Search Atlas? Is searchatlas.com is misconfigured? Bankrupt? Got edited incorrectly with OTTO?

Did you know you can't screen record Google Gemini responses? If I could, I would demonstrate how crappy it is.

This is the Google mobile app for iOS. The company is actually using a “dark pattern” to get people to use AI Mode. People who don’t know this icon on the right is AI Mode will hit it thinking they’re conducting a regular search.

This site has been totally stagnant for a few months, and now over 2/3 of their pages have dropped out of the index altogether. from 191 pages indexed to only 63. really aggressive the end of May. #GooglePagePurge

Remember these? GoogleMyBiz mailed them out, and this was mine. The QR code no longer works :( #localseo

I occasionally receive inquiries for #SEO service where I am simply not qualified, and I am not afraid to say so. If more people did that, our industry wouldn't have the crap reputation that it does.

I wonder if there any class action lawsuits yet over this notice from TeamViewer? A lifetime license should actually be a lifetime license. Limiting it to only LAN connections is NOT acceptable, although a full refund would be fine.

Boarding my dog for a week costs $30 more than a whole months rent in my first apartment.

Depressing. To be clear, #SEO isn't "dead", it's just becoming sort of pointless... This must be what a master candlemaker felt like around the time light bulbs were invented.

I knew I only had one appt this afternoon, but wasn't sure what time, so I asked @GoogleAI "what's on my calendar today?" This is ridiculous.

Google is driving me crazy. Thanks for so much easier in the old days when all I had to do was stay alive...

How embarassing. Who lets their own website get hacked by what are apparently competitors, and then doesn't even notice for six weeks? Apparently I do, that's who... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKH7...

After reading this, I successfuly registered for the program cloud.google.com/developers/g... but after activating the account successfully via email verification, there's a bug preventing completion. Even trying different email addresses didn't work. ;(

I wonder if any court cases have come up yet where the defense is claiming that a Google AI Overview said something, and that's why the defendant acted as they did. If not, I'm sure it won't be long...

I have never once subscribed to YouTubeTV so there's no way I could "reactivate". Is this just a bug, or is it a strategy to trick us into thinking we're losing something?

A good read!

This is my Mom - youtu.be/e9DSLodY64s?... in a scene as "George the gun dealer" in a 1965 film that I knew existed but had never seen until I found it last night...

Now that they've remapped the side button, I wonder if the top Gemini search phrase for Samsung mobile users is "How do I restart my phone?"

Nice summary of things we've all noticed about the shitification of Google SERPs

Anyone else hate the latest Samsung phone UI update? This helped a lot, and I can again pull down from the center, and see icons the same way it's worked for years.

Client needs a VPS with a 200 gig SSD drive, 4 gigs of RAM, cPanel, MySQL, logs, PHP myadmin etc AND actual telephone support available when necessary. Recommendations?

Showing affiliate articles in Google Discover and then extracting the products mentioned + linking to Google Shopping’s own links to the products is, in my opinion, one of the worst examples of abusive monopoly behavior by Google… in my humble opinion.

Not a gif. This whale must have smacked his tail more than a dozen times, and this only is the last half of the show.

Made a chopped beef brisket dip on ciabatta for lunch, with smokey au jus, gruyere/cheddar and Muenster cheese, and a thick schmear of garlic confit. SO good.

What happens to #SEO after a few weeks of no redirect on the @SEMpdx website www.sempdx.org? Huh - apparently nothing bad so far! See for yourself here app.seogets.com/share/3fEeKc...

Just a heads up on the newest Windows 11 updates...

If you want to try something spooky try theyseeyourphotos.com. It's based on the Google Vision API. It attempts to make assumptions about you based on photos. It's reasonably accurate on a single photo. Imagine what uploading hundreds of pictures of yourself lets them extrapolate.

Pretty cool Looker template to see AI site traffic - No idea who made it - You can adjust the /u/3 in the URL depending on how many google accounts you're logged into. I can cycle through several - lookerstudio.google.com/u/3/reportin...
