Tuesday Edition: February 21st, 2023

Good morning! We love Twitter for the inspiration and the gems, but sometimes a laugh can be just as important. With that in mind, we've added "Twitter-tainment" for your reading pleasure. Feel free to share with the group chat. #TwitterOnTheFly 🙃

The Big & The Small

META:

Even more subscriptions? You betcha. "Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, has announced plans for a subscription tier, offering account verification with government ID, a verified blue checkmark for Facebook and Instagram, and “direct access to customer support”. Meta stealing a play from Twitter 🤨

you.com:

Who is you? "With its blended large language model known as C-A-L (Chat, Apps and Links), YouChat 2.0 is able to serve up charts, images, videos, tables, graphs, text, or code embedded in its responses to user queries. That means fewer tabs open and less drifting away from your search engine.” The AI market continues to 📈

BARSTOOL:

Penn Entertainment bought full control over Barstool Sports for $388M! Via Penn's CEO: “Barstool is a proven, powerful media brand with an authentic voice and vast, loyal audience that provides us with a strong top of funnel for new customer acquisition and organic cross-selling opportunities across our growing interactive division." Congrats, Barstool 🎉

dronamics:

So we're really doing this, huh? "Dronamics raised $40 million in a pre-Series A round (or really big seed round if you’d rather look at it that way) to start an autonomous cargo drone airline in Europe..." These drone ideas probably won't stop any time soon.

A little Tuesday pick-me-up

A Networking Hack 🤝

Our social profiles can hold a lot of value, so take pride in the digital resume. For example, enhancing your page(s) to include what you're interested in or what you're passionate about might create more opportunity for you. You never know who will come across your page and what they might respond to. When's the last time you updated yours? 🤔 

Founder's Food For Thought 😃
