📚 RSS: Are You In or Out? In the age of information overload, it's easy to get lost in the labyrinth of social media algorithms and endless scrolling. But what if I told you there's a way to curate your own digital library, a sanctuary where you can read without distractions? Enter RSS—Really Simple Syndication. 📡 RSS has been around since the '90s, serving as a beacon for those who want to consume content on their own terms. Despite its decline in public popularity, it remains a powerful tool for aggregating content from various sources into one central hub. 🎯 I recently stumbled upon an article from Zapier that delves into the best RSS reader apps available today. https://lnkd.in/gv-vvY9J Their top three picks are: ⭐ Feedly: Best all-around free feed RSS reader. (My personal favorite) ⭐ NewsBlur: Excellent for filtering your RSS feeds. ⭐ Inoreader: Ideal for power users with search and archiving features. Each has its own unique features, from AI-powered article suggestions to advanced filtering systems. 🛠️ So, here's my question to you all: Do you use RSS? If so, which RSS reader do you swear by? And if you don't, what's holding you back? I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts. RSS is like the Swiss Army knife for the modern intellectual, a tool that can be as simple or as complex as you make it. 🤔 Let's get the conversation started! 🗨️

We are fans of Google products: Google Drive, Google Analytics, Google Data Studio (now Looker Studio), and many more. We also loved Google Optimize. The tool was a goldmine🔶 for hands-on marketers who were into A/B testing and didn't want to get developers involved. Sadly, Google is sunsetting Google Optimize in a month. The reason is vague: "Optimize, though a longstanding product, does not have many of the features and services that our customers request and need for experimentation testing." You will be missed, Google Optimize. https://lnkd.in/dsbpU2u #googleoptimize #googleapps

🗞 As someone who consumes news in many formats / channels - online, social, audio and even print (will always love my magazines and weekend newspapers), it’s magical to have most of what you love in one place (ahem, Yahoo News).  💫 It’s even more magical to say that the Yahoo News app is going through a major glow up with next-level personalization from Artifact. 🙌 In a world where it sometimes feels overwhelming to cut through so much information, sometimes you want the tl;dr.  Other times, you want to dig in, read the full article (and then another and another), and share highlights seamlessly on social or in group text threads with your BFFs. The new Yahoo News app launches today and it’s awesome - here are some of the reasons why: 📱 AI-Powered Personalized Feed 📝 Key Takeaways to summarize articles  🚩 Ability to Block Keywords and Flag Clickbait 💫 Easy one-touch Sharing Tools 🔥 Badges and Streaks to share with friends Learn more in this WIRED exclusive by Boone Ashworth https://lnkd.in/gs-V-4vp 📰 Katelyn Brehony 🗞 Estela Weinmann 📰 Caragh Fisher O'Connor 🗞 Kat Downs Mulder 🗞 Andrew Machado 📰

Google has just launched structured data markup designed for creative authors. It is targeted at user profiles on forums or social media, author pages on news websites, employee pages on business websites, and also "about" pages on websites of freelance professionals, personalities, etc. The aim is to make the users' perspective available in the search engine, displaying their names or avatars, social profiles, number of followers, and content popularity more prominently. This is a granularization of content that essentially goes from social media to the search engine, and not the other way around in an attempt to group different narrative discussions in a more centralized environment. https://lnkd.in/d6De2WHB

Using the Facebook Pixel Conversion API allows you to track and send events, customer data, and conversions from your website or app to Facebook's ad platform more directly and securely than using the standard Facebook Pixel. This API provides more control and flexibility for businesses to measure and optimize their advertising campaigns. Here are the steps to use the Facebook Pixel Conversion API: 1. Set Up a Facebook App: Go to the Facebook Developers website (https://lnkd.in/gVTJU3aF). Create a new app or select an existing one. In the app settings, set up your business manager account and configure your app for the Pixel Conversion API. 2. Generate an Access Token: Within your Facebook App's settings, go to "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Security" > "Access Tokens." Generate a new access token with the necessary permissions for the Conversion API. 3. Implement the Conversion API: You will need to include the Facebook Conversion API code in your website or app. This is typically done on the server side. The exact implementation details will depend on your platform and programming language. Facebook provides SDKs for various programming languages, making it easier to send events and data. You'll need to include the access token generated earlier in your server-side code. 4. Send Events and Data: Use the Conversion API to send events and data to Facebook. Common events include page views, product views, add to cart, purchase, lead submission, and custom events tailored to your business. Include event parameters such as the event name, user data, and event-specific details. Ensure you include the data_processing_options field to comply with data privacy regulations like GDPR. Here's an example of how you might send a page view event using Python: Python 5. Test and Monitor: Use Facebook's Test Events Tool to verify that your events are being received correctly before going live. Monitor the events and data sent to Facebook through your app dashboard or the Facebook Business Manager. 6. Optimize Campaigns: Once your events are set up, you can use the data to optimize your Facebook ad campaigns for specific objectives, such as conversions, leads, or purchases. Remember to keep your implementation secure and compliant with data privacy regulations. Additionally, Facebook's API documentation will provide you with more detailed information on how to set up and use the Conversion API, including code examples for various programming languages. #facebookpixel #facebookpixelconversionapi #googletagmanager #gtm #googleanalytics4 #ga4

Google is introducing a new feature called Notes, allowing users to add their own annotations to search results. Learn more about it here. https://lnkd.in/g3Nazbwz Visit for such updates here : https://www.geekqu.com/ #Google #googlefeature #googlenotes #techupdate #technews #techcrunch #GeekQu

Remember the times of Yahoo! Messenger Status? It's coming back. Instagram added notes above DMs earlier this year, and Messenger added the same feature last month. What did Google say? "I can do that too." Google started testing notes in search results. Now, you can leave a note, and other users can see it directly in the search results. It's an interesting new way to interact with the SERP and how users interact with each other. What do you think about this new/old feature? #google #organic #serp #notes #userinteraction #organicsearch
