The @minnestar.org community SHOWS UP for hard cider yes, but also to talk about tech, innovation, and the future of tech innovation. And cider.

Good report from the Bee Pioneer today. Also pictured, the Limitless Pendant.

Anyone have an under-desk bike pedal/elliptical they LOVE and would recommend?

Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team on stage at #SXSW

Does #SXSW matter anymore? Is it too big? Why do you make such a big deal about it, Greg? Shared some thoughts with @kristinam.bsky.social at @digidaymedia.bsky.social ⤵️ digiday.com/marketing/as...

Last night I couldn’t figure out why none of the neighbors had their trash bins out for pickup this morning. Maybe because the snowplow hit our recycling bin at 3 am and sprayed Modelo bottles all over the street? My bad. I got it all cleaned up. My bad.

Scoping out the virtual Carnitas Cinema within the pre-existing Chipotle Burrito Builder experience in Roblox featuring their new 60 second spot and free burritos for the first 50k (sold out but hey, free queso code).

DOGE’ing my kids

Breakfast for dinner seemed like a great idea tonight until I started cracking the eggs...

It's been a very good incoming fax streak here. Two faxes Friday and one today. #faxstreak

Super fun event at Capsule’s Think & Link with former Global Head of Marketing at TikTok Nick Tran, Ali Kaplan, Michelle Hanson, and @aaronkeller0.bsky.social talking about TikTok, Mr. Bubble, and the future! 🚀

Haven’t been able to stop thinking about Sony’s patent where you shout the brand of the commercial you’re watching at your TV to skip ads…

How many times will you pick up your phone during the Super Bowl? I bet it’s a lot. gregswan.substack.com/p/marketings...

First post on Flashes, the new photo sharing Insta dupe from Bluesky.

In a twist, there is now a monkey riding the groundhog to help interpret if he sees his shadow on #GroundhogDay #sora

Reminder: Corona beer virus searches peaked in 2020

Gathered with 100+ folks from the marketing and communications industry to talk about trends in social and content for 2025 with @arikhanson.bsky.social at #SMBMSP this morning. Love this community!

In this issue of #SocialSignals we’re talking Employee Generated Content (EGC) based on some thoughts I shared with Ad Age last week and wanting to unpack it more ➡️ gregswan.substack.com/p/more-emplo... #employeegeneratedcontent #contentstrategy #socialmediamarketing #futureofsocial

It was the Polar Vortex of 2019. My kids had a snow day from school and I said “let’s make something go viral!” And we did! Those pants got picked up by BuzzFeed, IFL Science, BoredPanda, Someecards, 22 Words, the front page of Imgur, and news in Canada, Ireland, India, Spain, Japan, and Serbia!!

✌️TikTok CapCut Lemon8… How many days until you’re back?

It’s Gen Z’s Y2K, except it actually happened.

Bye TikTok, the first algorithm people loved and know they will miss. There will be others.

Using a scheduled task in ChatGPT to remind me about scheduled tasks in ChatGPT.

Still holding out hope the Vikings can win the Super Bowl this year.

Ahem… SKOL VIKINGS. Lots of purple here #vikings

This is a good POV from @ryanbroderick.bsky.social. Too many good parts to quote. Our justice system and elected officials continue to misunderstand social networks, ecomm, and well… digital things. Happy 2025, y’all. www.garbageday.email/p/tiktok-doe...

I shared some takeaways and favorite products with the St. Paul Pioneer Press ➡️ www.twincities.com/2025/01/11/c...

Live from the CES show floor, I joined @derushaj.bsky.social to share some key themes and finds at the annual consumer tech conference. Listen in here 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/65zm...

“Welcome to Phoenix” the flight attendant says as we land in what I intended to be Las Vegas. And here goes #CES 2025! #CES2025 I’ve been coming since CES 2008, and I cannot wait to high five some robots! 🤖

Oh Vikings…

Stumbled on this interview I did with the Verizon News Room (?!) back in 2015 about the shift from physical music to streaming services. I don't have those 4,000 CDs anymore: www.verizon.com/about/news/t...

SO MUCH POTENTIAL left in 2025!

I have a confession: so far I have scheduled five (5!) "circle back" emails to send on January 6th at 9:30 a.m.

Don’t forget to write 2025 on your checks today

REMEMBER: turn your computer off before midnight!
