I've been harping on about the qualitative vs. quantitative divide in #contentmarketing so when I saw this article by Mark Ritson in Think with #Google, I had that lovely, tingly feeling of another human validating my own point of view. Maybe you'll like it too.😄

2026 state of #marketing from Think with Google:
"Stop selling the ultimate outcome and start celebrating intermediate steps. Break down loyalty programmes and customer journeys into smaller, instantly gratifying milestones."
Bottom line: live in the present. 👇

On this day 20 years ago, #GoogleDocs was released.
It's not as venerable an old machine as #MicrosoftOffice, but Google's office suite is no longer a spring chicken.
It's worth remembering when we get frustrated that the today's alternatives aren't as robust. Give 'em time. They're catching up.

For a long time, my only daily social media platform was Reddit. I loved — and still love — Redditors' depth of knowledge and incredible ability to solve problems for others.

This weekend my e-reader went haywire, and it made me pick up a paperback I hadn't read for a while.
Ah, the joy of that weight in my hands. The silky paper and the gratifying swish when I turn the pages...
Like it's responding to me.
Sometimes analog just feels friendlier.

This is worth repeating:
Writing is thinking.
So if we outsource everything in the writing process to AI, guess what? We're not thinking.
Am I poo-poohing AI? No. I use LLMs daily for ideation, research, and feedback, etc. But the best LLM is still the one sitting on my shoulders. 😉

"Successful people do this." You see it? It's the way "successful" is shorthand for "rich." But what about the person who earns enough and spends extra time with family? Or struggles financially but has deep friendships? Or chooses a different path to "success"? Success can mean a lot of things.

Danmark er nordisk mester i økonomisk udsathed. Trods flere og flere i beskæftigelse er der mange, der er i risiko for fattigdom - eller som allerede oplever materielle eller sociale afsavn. Det er flere end i resten af Norden. Det må vi kunne gøre bedre.
