A new platform being beta-tested hopes to re-introduce an element of what many social media companies have seemingly lost sight of amid industry controversies — maintaining a sense of community. “A big differentiator for us is creating a space where people feel like they don’t have to perform,” Somewhere Good Founder and CEO Naj Austin said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “There are no likes. There are no followers. There are no algorithms tracking you. We’ve removed any temptation for… Source link

That uproar you hear? It’s SEOs calling out Google today.  Google’s new Digital Marketing & E-commerce certification course, which was announced May 2, includes cringe-worthy SEO advice so shockingly bad that one of Google’s search advocates – Danny Sullivan – is disavowing it. What happened. It all started with a tweet from international SEO consultant Gianluca Fiorelli. In it, he shared this screenshot of a slide discussing how to avoid keyword stuffing: This is Google’s official… Source link

If you’ve looked at the MLB standings recently, the line most likely to cause a double take belongs to the Cincinnati Reds. Specifically, the win column, which stood at a shockingly meager 5 on Monday morning. And that was after a weekend series triumph that brought them up almost exponentially from 3 and finally eased the ignominy of having fewer 2022 wins than the local football team that hadn’t played since February. So they stand at 5-23. Five wins in 28 games. It looks like a typo. As… Source link

Google is trying to make it easier for Chrome users to install useful extensions without having to scrutinize where they come from. The company says it has begun applying two new badges to extensions. The first, Featured, looks like a prize ribbon and will be displayed on extensions that “follow our technical best practices and meet a high standard of user experience and design.” Google says this is a manual process that involves evaluating extensions for an “enjoyable and… Source link

Wall Street isn’t feeling JetBlue’s (JBLU) surprise bid for low-cost fare rival Spirit Airlines (SAVE). “In the near- to medium-term, we view this as a negative for JetBlue. It is a much tougher merger to execute than the proposed Frontier-Spirit merger with greater dis-synergies primarily related to labor costs but also due to greater investments related to changing cabin layouts,” said Raymond James analyst Savanthi Syth in a research note on Wednesday. “While leverage levels appear… Source link

In the state of New York, if you want to receive public assistance — you know, money from state or local authorities to help keep a roof over heads or food in refrigerators — there are conditions that recipients must meet. And not just you, but any adult who lives with you. Can’t have poor people getting a free ride, you see, no matter how the system is set up to make sure the poor stay poor. When wealthy people want public assistance, well, that’s a different story. On Monday, New York… Source link

The argument for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as the GOAT doesn’t extend to the big screen, at least according to the membership of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (GRAF). James “won” (but is it really winning?) two awards for “Space Jam: A New Legacy” at the 42nd Golden Raspberry awards on Saturday. The Razzies are awarded to the worst films of the year and are announced the day before the Academy Awards. LeBron’s ‘Space Jam’ remake earns Razzies LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JULY… Source link

With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine bringing us images of murdered civilians, bombed maternity wards and the horror of urban warfare, you really have to wonder about the human race. How is it that 145 million Russians allow someone like Putin to rule over them? The answer to that question has everything to do with Russian history and politics of course, but an even more sobering point is that Putin is hardly alone. The world today is rife with authoritarians, nationalists and dictators —… Source link

Crypto crimes are on the rise, and a man who lost $120,000 after clicking one bad link shows how vulnerable investors are right now. Reddit user PowerofTheGods said he had been investing since 2016 and kept his investments in a Ledger Nano S (a crypto wallet) and four Metamask digital hot wallets. When he checked his accounts last December, he noticed they were empty. At the time, the currency was valued at more than $120,000. He later realized that hackers stole his crypto after he clicked… Source link
