LinkedIn in 2019 is where - @YouTube was in terms of videos in 2007 - @facebook was in 2015. Has a lot of potential but SF firms don’t get media. So if it’s trying to be a media platform, it needs help. Lots of it. – at Dorval, Québec
LinkedIn to announce changes to its algorithm, designed to favor posts that cater to niche professional interests, as opposed to elevating viral content (@sarafischer / Axios) axios.com/linkedin-algorithm… techmeme.com/190625/p4#a1906…

When you build a biz you don’t get to follow as many folks as you like. Met @EmmaVigeland at @SALTConference last month and was very impressed with our chat. Understand why a madman (that’s a compliment!) like @cenkuygur would recruit her to his team. Great interview. – at Toronto, Ontario
I'm the one being interviewed for once! And it's a good one. I spoke with @WatchMojo's @ashkan last month about many topics, including my response to #MeToo, free speech hypocrisy, the prescient topic of right-wingers being kicked off platforms, and more! youtube.com/watch?v=PczzMEYT…
