We're proud to have built a company #culture our employees can be proud of! We are thrilled to be included in @BatteryVentures’ 25 “Highest-Rated Public Cloud Computing Companies To Work For” list for the 5th consecutive year. bit.ly/3ywz1Sz
Is there a user friendly solution for shared grocery cart? Ideally whole foods. Search results weren’t clear.

Prioritizing accessibility is about far more than checking a box; it’s about openly embracing diversity through inclusion. bit.ly/3uTJrZY
Appreciate you sharing this, @margarinemargie. Thank you @Imani_Barbarin for giving such a sincere and moving talk about ableism at our company this week <3 🙏
I can't believe I got to see @Imani_Barbarin speak today. I cried because she really had us thinking about what we as a disability community would be capable of if it wasn't so stigmatized to ask for help.
Sometimes you have to draw those lines but important to know when to erase them. Thanks for this inspiring piece, @joulee
I've never understood deeply-drawn lines between brand and product design. 80% of how a customer perceives a brand is their actual experience of using it, not the marketing pages.
Thanks @@taictran for sitting down with me for this interview! forbes.com/sites/taitran/202…
12 seconds in the microwave then 4 mins in the broiler is the answer to most of your reheat problems. Start w pizza and report back.
"Build for all audiences, not just the ones you expect" @SinaBahram recently gave an inspiring talk on accessibility at @SproutSocial. No record of it but I want to share a sample of his work from MCN Ignite bit.ly/3mmWL4r
And thank you, Social Media Managers everywhere for shaping this industry so that companies like Sprout can exist and thrive. 🙏
This one goes out to all of the #SMMs on #SocialMediaDay:
💕 We see you, we hear you, we appreciate you.
❗ You are essential, now and always.

I appreciate the feedback and direct conversation about #a11y from our passionate community. It's clear we have a lot of work ahead to make Twitter more inclusive for people with disabilities. I will advocate for a11y to be part of our design from the beginning of all projects.
"So you want to talk about race" by @IjeomaOluo was left on my desk in the past year and I'm so grateful for this. Wherever you stand, and however you are feeling right now, read a chapter and I bet you won't put it down. At the very least, this talk: bit.ly/2Ulq4ZA

And sadly, so many more they don't fit in one tweet.
This. Is. Why. @Kaepernick7. Was. Kneeling.

These past few weeks have been uncertain, but one thing we find comfort in is our team. Earlier this month, we celebrated the womxn on #TeamSprout by asking them to read bios of influential heroes. Here’s what happened: bit.ly/2xjoDCa

A funny thing about quarantining is hearing your partner in full work mode for the first time. Like, I’m married to a “let’s circle back” guy — who knew?
Potential innovation during this time: More structured conversations or cues on video conferencing apps. It's just not the same as talking in person and even the best tech out there doesn't address this alone. #SorryGoAhead

If only every workday could be AS productive as I am on a flight to Europe 😭
I thought that’s where you were going but the point stands @jasonfried
Oh damn! New season of Netflix's Abstract: The Art of Design drops on Sept 25. But who will be featured?? bit.ly/345UUso
