Twitter seems "too big to fail," but if our favorite watering hole dries up, here's where to find me elsewhere online... + various slack groups and forums

Let's say you wanted to launch a Tier 1 B2B YouTube channel. You want to hire someone to handle the first mile and last mile of the process. They do ideation and scripting. We do videography. They do post production. We do publishing and distribution. Who would you hire?

1. Started with Webflow only. Then added HS. Then switched to HS only. Then added back WF. All of them seem to send data...none of them seem to do the redirect. So it's currently using both, I guess? 2. There is currently some kind of waiting message set up, but I haven't seen that display in my testing. If the success message is different from the waiting message, I'll research how to set that up. 3. Possibly? I checked the header and footer codes and it's all the usual stuff...GA, FB, etc. nothing seems out of the ordinary. 4. Yes 5. Yes

Doing this as therapy because I'm abstaining from any new projects... This would make a killer job board or 2-sided marketplace where companies can work with salespeople on 100% commission-based engagements. Lots of early-stage businesses can't afford to hire salespeople. Lots of early-stage salespeople are hungry to put in reps and increase their earning potential. Would take a ton of hustle and probably 6 months of patience to get off the ground, but I bet it would be a lucrative and low touch business to run once it got some momentum behind it.

I totally understand the sentiment...I just don't understand why a product with as many resources as Hubspot wouldn't offer both options? Like...I had 1,000 people register for a webinar last month. Only 500 of them attended one of the sessions. If I want to let the other 500 know we're running the same webinar again this month, why can't I just send an email to all contacts with the property "Webinar Name" that equals "Date 1 or Date 2?" Seems silly that I should have to create a separate contact list for every webinar session I run for the rest of my life when instead I could just have a single list called "(Webinar Name) Attendees" and send an email only to members of that list who also meet certain criteria. And God forbid I also have to segment attendees by geographic region or revenue...now I've got to make a dozen different lists. It's crazy.

@themartincris A feels 10x better. Draws the eye toward all the most important stuff.

I'm not actively publishing on Instagram right now. I think I might be interested in changing that in 2025. I see people doing a bunch of fancy stuff with post formats, text overlays, background music, etc. What's the best course I can take to go from complete novice to savvy IG publisher as quickly as possible? Not looking for advice around content strategy or topics to cover, but rather how to navigate the interface and how to create various types of post formats that tend to work well.

@Tina_Donati Robert Kaminski from Fletch is who you need!

Congrats! So well deserved. Unrelated question... How do you get your hair to be that long and brushed back without a part? I'm growing mine out and it always seems to fall naturally with a slightly off-center part. Product helps a bit, but within and hour it's parting like the Red Sea again.

@alischwanke I know @nathanbarry has done it. Guessing he knows a few other folks who have as well.

@JamesonCamp I freaking love Twitter...and even I think it sucks right now. The problem is it's not even enjoyable to use anymore, which means the best people will use it less, which means it will get stuck in a downward spiral. Still holding out hope that it will course correct in 2025.

I wanted something slim and modest. Did a bunch of research and ended up landing on this one. It looks a little chunky in the product photos, but I think they are showing off the expandability. I think mine might be 3-4" wide when it just has office supplies in it. My only gripe would be that the external water bottle holders on the side are super tight, so if you have one of those big Yetis it's probably not going to fit.

@coreyhainesco I nominate @rezzz! He's the best email marketing advisor with specialization in Kit that I know.

I'm seeing a ton of stuff I've never sought out or engaged with... Political topics Conspiracy theories Celebrity news Cookie cutter threads about entrepreneurs/historical figures Tech roundups/reviews I know these can all be combated through following, blocking/muting, and lists, but it feels like users shouldn't have to work that hard to get a tolerable experience? I'll be the last person clinging to the Twitter boat as it goes down, but it does seem like it's taken a big step down over the last few months.

@orenmeetsworld The J. Jonah Jameson (from Spiderman) vibe!

Ahhh yes... The annual tradition of SaaS products failing to exclude active customers from their BFCM campaign is here. "SAVE 30% ON ANNUAL PLANS FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. ...Unless you were an early adopter and advocate who's already paid us money. You're totally fucked lol."

@Joey_Farruggio She's good. Nothing compared to getting staples in the head.

@Joey_Farruggio Can't make this shit up... My 7 year old daughter just smashed her face into her cousin's forehead. Blood everywhere. Doesn't seem like it's broken, but she's supposed to be on stage for two Nutcracker performances this weekend. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
