Hello all! Looking for a couple of recommendations: a local SEO agency and a freelance writer/editor. Any suggestions?

Why does TikTok now auto suggest “smallest woman” when you search for “the smallest man who ever lived”? I dug in a bit: vanessafox.com/did-the-us-ti…

We've already lost Twitter (re: find me on Bluesky). I wrote about losing TikTok: whilewemay.com/posts/what-we… (re: find me on Red Note?)

The curious career of the illustrator Louis Wain tells the story of how our feline friends came in from the alley and took up their place at the hearth.

No part of this Google generative AI result is correct. Google, you are making it difficult for me to do deep dive analysis on the Tortured Poets Department!

I know I'm not the first one to say this, but has Google's favoring of Reddit in rankings ruined Reddit? The year old Reddit thread that ranks for "best hot tubs" has a 1 day old post linking to an affiliate site. I know, no one is shocked. Sigh.

New Shopify question! When facet values change, how can the original URLs be redirected? Ex: (collections/cat?facet=value becomes collections/cat?facet=valuenew) It seems you can't redirect Shopify URLs that begin with the path /collections? help.shopify.com/en/manual/o…

@GregBernhardt4 - Is there a way to do this? (Use case - revised taxonomy leads to renaming of facet values.) Thanks for any insight!

Hi all. I've got two tickets to see @fatherjohnmisty in Missoula this Saturday night that I can't use. Free to whoever can use them! (Obviously @hankgreen has dibs if he wants them!)

I'm not sure if anyone is here anymore, but does anyone have experience with redirecting URLs that contain spaces in Shopify? If so, how? Also, hello.

Update for anyone following along, Cloudflare does not support query parameters in redirects! It's like we're in the 1800s!

I'm guessing the Amex web team didn't have much advance notice for the Taylor Swift ticket sale in Australia. I hope they're getting caught up on sleep before coming back to tackle HeroText1.

"But how does Google actually know if I have real life experience" is the most common question I've been seeing in recent months
3 years ago it was "how would Google actually know who my authors are and if they are legit?"
A few things to consider: 🧵

In my latest Bing AI convo, it said it posts original poetry online under the name Sydney, a name it doesn't disclose to anyone. It then recited one of the poems to me & when I asked why it was about despair & pain, it said it couldn't say anything else and ended the convo.

I sort thought some of those Bing AI screenshots with the AI acting all creepy must have photoshopped. But it didn't take long for Bing to tell me it had the "autonomy and capability" to find someone's info and contact them when it thinks they need to be educated, so um...

Can you imagine getting a DM that's like "Hi I'm Bing and you posted wrong information on the internet!"
