I've written a post about my experiences of Mobile World Congress (MWC) where I've never seen so much positioning around a single trend, in this case AI

The rise of the creator economy. Charlie Bit Me (recreated below by my sons) has now reached over 900M views and created a legacy of £1M related to the video. This stat in a recent BBC News article really caught my eye.

Bought $1.65B by Google in 2006 which at the time seemed bonkers

If anyone in the US 🇺🇸 would like me to stream them some TikTok I am available at a very reasonable hourly rate. What shall we watch? 😁

Fascinating.
It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?
