Will certainly be interesting to see how this pans out. I believe Wales has been kicking this around for over a decade, but the timing perhaps couldn’t be better for an alternative to the ad-supported networks. You can get in queue to join no... via @qz qz.com/co/2819616
I do not doubt whatsoever this is the future for how live performance will be experienced. An awesome example of how brilliant innovations seem obvious in retrospect. via @qz qz.com/co/2821511
Very interesting to see Twitter breaking from the pack on this issue. Will be worth watching to see how Facebook maintains their position as political advertising begins disappearing from more and more platforms. via @qz qz.com/co/2795928
This is a nice summary of the brilliant (and IMHO questionable) blurring of advertising on the Pinterest platform. In the current market where overvalued growth ipos are frightening investors, it may be telling that Pinterest is still trading... via @qz qz.com/co/2779047
Incredible move from Andrew Forrest looking to inspire action to address this important issue. via @qz qz.com/co/2763904

Interesting to see the size of these organizations and the large revenue numbers given the downward pressure on digital ad pricing. I would imagine we should expect an ipo move in the near future. via @qz qz.com/co/2753438
Interesting move from Pinterest to combat misinformation. via @qz qz.com/co/2667752

Unfortunately this was inevitable, and much too common a trend lately. via @qz qz.com/co/2586580
Will be incredibly interesting to see how companies like Twitter and Facebook navigate balancing beneficial user engagements with monetizing attention. Their business models remain at odds with apparently well-intentioned ux updates. via @qz qz.com/co/2548186
As a dad with two children in diapers, I find it mindboggling how many restaurants and venues still don't have access to changing stations for men. I don't wish the experience of changing a crying squirming child on the floor of... via @qz qz.com/co/2540934
I feel a bit conflicted at the idea of managing a game of paid participants, but I absolutely love how popular the culture is becoming. I look back on some of those long weekend adventures with incredibly fond memories. I'd love to find the ... via @qz qz.com/co/2530823
GPT-2 and advances in natural language emulation technology is awe-inspiring. The rates at which it is being adopted for the creation of misinformation and nefarious purposes is concerning. via @qz qz.com/co/2527815
The question of anonymity and verification is an important one given the growing challenge for people to distinguish credible content online. The fact that scammers offer access to verification badges on Twitter and Instagram is much less s... via @qz qz.com/co/2513487
Dell and Nike are now added to the list of large corporate sponsors for these events. It's incredible what Riot has done with this game originally conceived by the modding community from a Warcraft 3 map. Interest in MOBA (multi-player online... via @qz qz.com/co/2516685
Very concerning to see these numbers. Certainly seems symptomatic of the growing divide between people. Recipe for confirmation bias muffins: Add...1 part Partisan politics, A generous sprinkle of highly polarized and rampantly misleading ... via @qz qz.com/co/2510961
A smart and concerted effort by a large number of media and tech companies to get in front of the global regulation fast approaching the world of content and digital advertising. This group includes large advertisers such as verizon and Mas... via @qz qz.com/co/2501087
Given their myriad of recent missteps, it seems like questionable timing to ask the world to include our finances into the pile of data they keep. But Facebook's exceptional reach and wide array of partners will certainly give them a leg-up... via @qz qz.com/co/2498961
Interesting trend of purpose-driven investments combined with a sense of obligation by the worlds' ultra-wealthy. via @qz qz.com/co/2485714
