Unless you have a near monopoly like Google (search dominance) or Bazaarvoice (proprietary network) building a sustainable long-term advantage (MOAT) virtually always boils down to data and the value it brings to the end user. All of these new content deals are proof- research.cbinsights.com/hook…

How is it that I only just learned of @Crossbeam? Time to re-examine how we setup @Hubspot to sync properly and scale this thing!!

It's crazy to think that $6B was left abandoned in shopping carts, according to @bold_commerce and 20 billion website visits lasted less than 60 seconds @Contentsquare - that $6B#gone in 60 seconds - that's going to be the opening slide in our pitch deck.

I love seeing how fast the @joinanswearble platform is for our partner brands in the Shopify Admin. If you're going to claim that you're a real-time commerce platform you better be right?!

Distributed applications (web3) have superior performance and future upside for commerce - I made this draft graph for illustrative purposes using the automotive industry as an example. I'm sure @packyM or @chiefmartec could probably to better.

I just learned of @itsOddit from a new friend and I love this framework! Seems like they might make an interesting podcast invite @lennysan ?

@RBC Given the record profits one would think this wouldn't happen as CPU and bandwidth is so cheap these days.
It has taken over 18 months to build the underlying tech on the Google cloud giving brands a platform that scales intelligently - content and people so you get something like this that @packyM shared - lets get building now for BFCM 2023

@BestBuy FYI scammers are out in force ...
I'm a huge fan of @Allbirds but for months chat/Q&A has been "Apologies, we're out right now!". We'd love to help @allbirds by helping your Flock take on these questions and get rewards while doing it
Further to @packyM here is another powerful example by @chiefmartec show business effectiveness with co-ordinated systems.

@packyM Love the newsletter today and this graphic. Quality of system is exactly what I've been showing brands as they join the @joinanswerable family. We purposely built MyTrustScore across brand & consumers ~ as the data grows decentralization & speed grows
