Now this is an interesting development. One, it shows @Amazon is taking the threat from chatbots becoming ecommerce plays seriously. Two, on what legal basis does Amazon seek a cease-and desist? Would they also be able to forestall me using a price comparison site? What

This will solidify @TheTradeDesk's position in CTV and make it less dependent on other platforms, insulating it from potential trouble. (Remember Apple pulling the rug out from under Facebook a couple of years ago?) Here is my take on a prospective TTD Smart TV OS from a few

Further to the take that the @Apple #VisionPro and other #VR devices will not find mass consumer adoption: the only consumer VR application so far is gaming. But even there, revenues are so small they don't even register - see chart 4 in below tweet.

Selling D/R ads to SMBs is the correct strategy. Automate sales. Great UI. Out-innovating @Meta, @Snap, @tiktok_us shouldn't be too hard. @elonmusk — @X says it will chase SMB ad dollars after Musk's ‘go f*** yourself’ comments to fleeing advertisers https://techcrunch.com/...... [image]

@KurtWagner8 The ideal outcome for @Apple. Not only did their deprecation of #IDFA severely damage @Meta's ad biz. Not only did it drive part of that ad spend to Apple. It's also forcing Meta to make up losses via subscription fees on their enemy's platform, of which the enemy gets a cut.
