The cookie’s still crumbling. Platforms still gatekeep.
But publishers? They’re building smarter, taking control. Here’s what @lynneluvah.bsky.social Content Director, Communities, AdMonsters & AdExchanger heard inside the (very real) Zoom room. #adtech #pubtech #adops
Had a conversation with Glenda Bautista-Baker, Stephanie Layser, and Helene Parker about Women in Ad Tech and the future of Ad Tech.
It was an inspiring conversation. Also learned a lot about how AI can change operations in the buying and selling of ad inventory.

I wrote a piece for @admonsters.com about floor pricing. It's such a complicated thing to understand, but like all other things ad tech, the lack of transparency is a big issue here. I've been chatting with folks about this on LinkedIn so maybe there will be a part 2 somewhere soon.

I love bringing #blockchain back into the advertising conversation.
this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
One of my writers wrote this piece comparing this Drake UMG situation to digital advertising practices. It's a must read.

It only took a little more than a year for people to finally find their way over here.
There’s never been a time like now to join Bluesky if y’all see what’s happening over at the blue bird.
Dunno how I missed this message
The OG are coming
I’m just gonna park this one here https://fortune.com/2023/06/21/elon-musk-declares-cis-cisgender-slurs-twitter-punishable-suspension/
Wow
Hey
The tech media’s entire schtick is that there’s some silver bullet to stop people from being mean to each other online but techies are too greedy or incompetent to find it.
The reality is humanity hasn’t figured out how to stop people from being mean or lying to each other (aka misinformation).
Today my nail tech said “I don’t know who that guy in Florida is but I’m so angry about all those laws. I want to do something.” And then she asked me to help her learn about direct actions, orgs, & resources to follow.
People are ready to organize more than I’ve seen in a long while. It’s go time.
Almond Bubble Tea is everything
Me looking at the zero invites on my account
What in the public broadcasting type of nonsense is this
You’re speaking my language
Yeah, I've been looking for folks too. The invite thing is hectic.
My personal site is still on MT. That tells you a few things about me. One day maybe I'll update it. @anild.bsky.social what CMS do you recommend? Is WP really my only option nowadays?
Whassup???? @lizburr.bsky.social
The What's Hot feed is just one example of what's possible with custom algorithms — soon, you'll be able to choose the algorithms that power your own feeds.

Did I just skeet for the first time? 👀
Is it true that social media is better with friends or is it a good place to make new friends? These are not mutually exclusive.
Fairly certain that users mostly want robust APIs for alternative clients and useful tooling, and would happily trade away federation for better privacy and safety features.
Federation has mostly been a mess on Mastodon, and people cling to heavily moderated servers that defederate aggressively.
