Hands down the best book this year in my list. #LostAndFounder 📖 a must read for all those struggling to figure out how to ignite their ideas. No "fillers", plenty of suggestions and genuinely honest anecdotes from start to finish. 🔝 @randfish #startup #books

@profgalloway As a marketeer I've witnessed a drastic change from the early 2010s when each static FB campaign was able to push sales as much as a TVC to the present time where FB and Google brainwash companies with the idea that OLVs are the right tool and CPV is the KPI

@profgalloway which obviously means higher cost per contact and revenue for both companies, on top of implicitly shifting production costs for fake entertaining content to others. It's an illusion that only a marketeer that doesn't do the math can accept. This has to stop

@TgLa7 Spiegate a Le Maire che ogni azienda ha Termini e Condizioni d'Uso che vengono accettati da ciascun utente. Qualora vengano infranti, l'azienda si riserva il diritto di escludere l'utente dalla piattaforma. Cosa ben diversa dal "regolamentare la rete". #facepalm

@business There's a macroscopic error in this model. #Taiwan should be by far the no.1 country in the world, as there's been no virus outbreak at all despite a population of 24 mio inhabitants. All thanks to solid guidelines and spotless preparation.

@rs_kanumuri @spectatorindex It's very likely that HK would be still at no.1. High salaries and zero taxes on consumer goods make very convenient for HKers to buy Apple products.

@reportrai3 @RaiTre Le migliori mascherine al mondo in termini di qualità sono Made in Taiwan. La presidente Tsai Ing-wen per mesi ha ribadito la disponibilità immediata all'export. Molti paesi, tra cui l'Italia, hanno invece preferito approvvigionarsi dai cinesi. Chiaramente per motivi politici.

The empirical evidence that masks and prevention through hygiene awareness work. Look at #Taiwan 's trend in 2020 and 2021. Not only #COVID19 cases are contained, there's also a MASSIVE decline in cold/flu symptoms. All this in a country that never experienced lockdowns.

It involves an extremely efficient and costly system for tracking and caring of every single person at risk. Those like me who experienced it can confirm there's nothing quite like it

My takeaway on the reasons why #Sony is not pushing hard yet on the #GamePass Model: 1) Mobile phones are still growing as primary gaming device (+13% vs PY) followed by computers, consoles and tablets. Online video gaming continues to be popular.

While all eyes are on ChatGPT and Bing, #Microsoft is quietly loosing the OS battle to #MacOS and #ChromeOS . Record-low market share for #Windows last month in the US at 56%. Prediction: the trend will continue and intensify with the growth of gaming devices like #SteamDeck .

@elenazacchetti @ilpost @eugenio_cau Non avrei mai pensato di vedere un Primo Ministro del quale sono profondamente orgoglioso a capo del Governo. L'Europa ha disperatamente bisogno di una figura di riferimento che, sostenuta dalla sua autorevolezza, sia in grado di verbalizzare la realtà dei fatti con fermezza.
