Twitter's revenue death is firmly sealed at this point. Elon clearly has no interest in addressing core platform issues. This is a stark cue for brands to depart. We recommend moving to #fediverse-enabled alternatives: #Threads, #Mastodon, and #bluesky. forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2…

Going forward, our team will no longer post on Twitter and will instead focus on Mastodon as our short form social platform of choice. (follow us at @ComeToGather@mastodon.online ). Are you leaving Twitter? What platforms are you focusing on now?

Interesting piece from @worklife on how #AI is reshaping mentorship, especially for #GenZ. We're cautious about over-reliance on AI for mentoring, which is fundamentally about human connection. What role do you see for AI in mentorship? worklife.news/technology/how…

#GenerativeAI is here to stay. As knowledge workers, we must adapt & embrace these tools responsibly. To do so, we must first know the limits, seek permission, master prompts & be open to opportunities. Have you started to see generative AI’s impact? gather.co/dispatch/the-indep…

The recent chaos surrounding @X serves as a reminder of why federated platforms like @joinMastodon & @Bluesky are crucial. They prevent a single individual from disrupting an entire ecosystem. Ready to explore possibilities beyond the chaos & venture into the #fediverse?

AI meeting summary assistants like @Otter_ai + @Zoom can provide helpful summaries but aren't a substitute for real-time collaboration. Validation of key takeaways still requires human intuition + participation. #AI via @DanielleDigest in @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/technolog…

The work landscape is evolving – it's about personal prowess, not just company loyalty. In a skills-driven economy, individual competencies reign supreme. The expertise and voice of individuals also drives trust in the brands they represent. bbc.com/worklife/article/202…
