Here’s MORE proof that Google’s AI can identify what's in your Google Business Profile photos (and how to use this to your advantage) 👇

👀 Look at the video example below:

What kind of disgusting person impersonates the wonderful Bill Slawski who passed away May 17, 2022.

I hope so many people report this profile that Bsky throws you out forever.

Hi Amanda. Good to see other writers here.

Changing YOUR biz information on YOUR Google Business Profile can get you suspended 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you need to edit any of these, you might NOT want to edit via Google's dashboard:
🔹 Biz name
🔹 Address
🔹 Map pin
🔹 Phone
🔹 Categories
🔹 URL

Instead, get a friend to make the update via “Suggest an edit”.

I love it when my marketing team puts stuff like this together and I don’t see it until it’s already released 😂

top free news apps - reddit, x, nextdoor, citizen, substack, quora - april 2024 - app store

How do 'iUsers' prefer to get the news?

According to the App Store, Reddit, X, Nextdoor, Citizen, Substack, and Quora are among the top 10 free iPhone apps in news.

Established news outlets like MSNBC, Fox, CNN, WSJ, CNBC, and AP appear further down the list.

There are excellent review posts on YouTube so that makes sense. But TikTok? Hmmm.

An update of this would be useful. Kristi Hines posts with substance - highly recommended!

Is Google losing market share to Bing?

The worldwide search engine market share percentages for April 2024 also show a drop for Google along with a slight increase for Bing, Yahoo, and others compared to 2023.

You know what is missing? SEARCH. If you want writers to quote and link to your site, add a search box!

Yes, SOME know how to do a site search using a search engine or ask an AI, but the results aren't the same as using the search on YOUR site.

Why wouldn't you want your site to be searchable?

They knew it was wrong several classes before. But they didn't correct it even though new lab guides were printed out for each class.

How many field techs had gone back out in the field either not knowing how to read that logic correctly or thinking they were incompetent?

Inexcusable. Fix it!

And if they teach inaccurate information that is a very bad thing. Accuracy is important.

I still remember how annoyed I was when I ran a lab project 3x during an IBM training because I could not get the answer in the lab guide.

When questioned, the teachers said, "oh yes, the answer is wrong".

This is a good thing for content creators, especially those who are subject matter experts and write as a human (not just spitting out AI-generated content).

I have some issues with these ideas. Until AI stops hallucinating, do we really want to trust it to keep medical records that could be life or death?

At least one attorney is already in hot water for submitting inaccurate information an AI generated citing cases that never existed.

I use Perplexity. It is usually accurate, although yesterday it gave an answer it couldn't attribute to anywhere.

When it is wrong, follow-up questions can get to the right answer if current data exists online.
