Ivan Brezak Brkan (IBB)｜ Engineer's Editor

Sve što me domaća IT industrija naučila u (samo) 15 godina Netokracije Od toga kako stvoriti profitabilan medij do stvarnosti hrvatske IT scene, ovo su neke lekcije koje sam kao osnivač Netokracije naučio u gotovo dva desetljeća tehnološkog novinarstva i medijskog poduze...

Čak i prije prihoda, pronađite svoje ‘pleme’, bilo na meetupima, WhatsApp grupama ili BlueSkyju. Jedna je to od lekcija koje je tijekom 15 godina vođenja Netokracije naučio @ivanbrezakbrkan.bsky.social. U velikom pregledu kako je nastajao medij koji volimo pronađite još vrijednih lekcija ☺️

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia The billionaire has become one of the most prominent supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.

I'd love to write an article on this for @netokracija.bsky.social (you already had an interview there with @chasingstillnes.bsky.social haha) - interested in getting into the details? :D

And it's not just PR's fault. A lot of B2C "influencers" don't.... cover stories. They do their thing and then get sponsors. If you're a company, your only option of communication is paying them. Media has a dual editorial and business "track" so it's easier to get stories written about. Hm...

Completely agreed! Also, a lot of PR people do the same as influencer marketers - sponsorships, not actually get stories done.

As a journalist, I'd say there are few "Editorial PR" people that GET IT and get stories writen.

I see PR trying to work with influencers, but they always fall back on $$$

Any links to read up on it in English (or Romanian and I’ll use Google translate)? 🍿

😂😂😂

I do wonder what they’d like instead of ‘yappin’

OpenAI O1 is here - how will you use it? After months of fruity hints from Sam Altman, OpenAI has launched Orion-1 (O1). So, what's new?

🚨 OpenAI o1 is here – how will YOU use it? 🤔

We just published an analysis for @shiftdev.bsky.social on how o1 works and some of its potential use cases…

Thank you and of course!

Your talk/post inspired me to write a post of my own for @netokracija.bsky.social - would you mind if I used this meme graphic (love it!) with credit and backlink?

The disclaimer at the top is 🔥😂

‘Before I start I need to give the traditional disclaimer that this talk is reflective only of my personal views and not those of my employer. In fact, this talk is not reflective of the views of any of my employers, past or present, which is kinda the whole problem’

@phirephoenix.com I love your bio 😂 Made me chuckle

Lekcije koje sam naučio o vođenju menadžera u IT-ju Treba znati reći da trebaš razmisliti, ali treba znati i kad šutjeti. Ne pasti u zamku mikromenadžementa, a opet redovito i jasno komunicirati. Misliti na ciljeve tvrtke, ali imati na umu da vodite lj...

Looking fwd to listening to @pfrazee.com talk about scaling the blue blue butterly -> blue Mothra 🦋

OMG, can’t we get Mothra inspired Blue Sky merch? 😄

So who’s here at 7am CET? 🦋🌇

I really need to kill my morming writing productivity by replicating the mid 2010 Twitter chatroom 🤣☕️

Would love to read a followup where you analyze your own reputation building step by step 🙈

Keep up the blogging and podcast, Aaron! 🔥

I would actually argue that “just publishing” was an early Twitter hack. I would tweet multiple times a day and got 30k followers because the algo rewarded it.

Publish in the ‘slow game’ long term, but do play the game… a bit?

What do you think?

While I agree with you and playing the ‘slow social media game’ (Love this!’ - I worry it’s another extreme?

Unlike the X algo hackers and Linkedin inspo influencers, I’ve met a lot of great thinkers who just publish and then ignore the platform - get dissapointed - and quit too soon.

I was doing a fair bit of research when we launched Shiftmag.dev last year and honestly think WordPress + Convertkit still 🔥

Substack is IMHO better because of network effects and user base, but doesn’t offer the added automation of Convertkit or Beehive.

Additionally, the new Ollie WP theme is 🔥

It’s you taking Mudrinic to China!

I’m sorry, but @everywhereist.bsky.social is right - Hot Frosty ☃️💦 is, ironically, 🔥🔥🔥😂

Just watching the scene where the Sheriff and Jack eat ice, while eating chevapi with my wife… 😅

And yes, I was the one to recommend it after seeying your posts.

Just remembered why I chose Notion over Craft Docs... Its ubiquity as a "backup" integration for the reader and podcasts apps I use (Matter and Snipd).

Just checked and the default integrations are Notion, Obsidian... but never, ever Craft 🤷

Okaaaay. Any reading/yt/podcast material for us to learn more, teach? 🤔 Quite interested…

So any choice you make will be a good choice :D
