For those of you around here from the days of Amatomu, Afrigator, Muti, 27Dinners and the likes, will definitely know and remember @matthewbuckland really well (outside of his success with Creative Spark / Burn Media etc). He passed away today from cancer. 💔

This is truly dastardly work @ohgm, especially after all of the loving support @DeepCrawl has shown your conference over the years - if it even exists! Seriously though, it's pretty messed up you can't manage this in GMB... ohgm.co.uk/event-spam-seo/

CEO often said, "Website is the crown jewel of the business" and if i needed budget to fix and issue, i got it, but she didn't want to be bogged down with the bullshit minutiae that comes with running a growing digital property, and she shouldn't be.

Google is clearly making progress on this front. @g33konaut explained a few months ago that Google was actively trying get its rendering service closer to the current version of Chrome, and he confirmed they are testing that. Great work by @KiwiAlec of @DeepCrawl to surface this!
Google confirmed they are testing a more modern web rendering engine (higher than Chrome 69) for GoogleBot - this is exciting b/c it can lead to better indexing of modern web apps via @DeepCrawl @BermanHale and @g33konaut seroundtable.com/google-test…

Link building is a waste of time. Instead of wasting time on link building spend the time writing better content and focusing on UX and user intent. @mediadonis #SMX

Hi Khulu in the interests of accuracy as Pravin Gordhan admitted yesterday incompetence was a the core of the problem. Please adapt message to read: “Due to the fact that we have failed to build power stations that work and are bankrupt, Eskom will....etc...” the rest is fine
NOTICE: Due to the shortage of generating capacity, Eskom will continue to implement stage 3 loadshedding today, 13 February 2019, from 08:00 until 23:00. Please switch off all non-essential appliances in order to reduce pressure on the national grid.
