@elena24825 Came on 4:50 - thanks for bringing power earlier than expected

[Mohamed Elrasheed @ElrasheedMoh]

What’s wrong @TorontoHydro ? Power outage in Torresdale and Bathurst area.

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

The @AmazonHelp policy should be to deliver during normal working hours or at least give the customer the option to specify a latest time to deliver.
I ordered a printer ink cartridge that i desperately needed to complete a print job. #Amazon offered same day - not SAME NIGHT!

[LinkedIn Help @LinkedInHelp]

It’s not you, it's us! You may be having trouble viewing LinkedIn. Our teams are working to bring us back to your normally scheduled programming as soon as possible.

@linkedinhelp please post a response

[Kim_Johnson @PermanentlyOne]

Anyone else having issues with #LinkedIn? All of my posts, messages, connections and notifications seem to have vanished 😱 #linkedindown

@rickspence All the best for a successful sale

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

@rickspence And you're not biased of course ☺️

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

@rickspence Rick I'm sure it was 100% proof

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

Why doesn't @amazonca put a packing slip inside so that if unexpected goods arrive, you know what was intended to be in the bag?

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

@AmazonHelp why does Amazon provide a guaranteed next day delivery and when it doesn't arrive they just change the delivery to the next 3 days. What's the value of a Guarantee when it means nothing?

Retweeting in case anyone in my network can help @lysspowell

[Alyssa Powell @lysspowell]

It feels weird to do this but...I’m in need of community.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Everything feels surreal. It’s hard to grasp cancer at 31.

Is there anyone with CML out there willing to connect? Stories + connecting help—I’d appreciate it so much.

This is the only Thai massage I could get with Covid restrictions

Thanks @DrFrancesRyan for sensitizing the non-disabled to a critical concern affecting disabled persons, as the world begins to go back to work "as usual".

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

I wrote about how lockdown in some ways opened up access for disabled people but it feels like that’s being lost: from ending flexible working, cancelled streamed gigs, to tables blocking the bladdy pub. https://t.co/skNJM9UMuE

Amazing #CustomerService from @StaplesCanada today. I had misunderstood the conditions for next day delivery and they went above and beyond to satisfy this customer

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

Hollywood perpetuates racial and gender inequities. Geena Davis' study in @McKinsey shows how much worse the inequities are in movies than in reality, thereby perpetuating #unconsciousbias.

Many great nuggets from Jeff Bezos in this thread

[Ron Duke @RonDuke]

The two necessary ingredients for growing consumer startups to massive scale: distribution and conversion.
“When paired together, distribution and conversion have a pyrotechnic result,” Great article by @BessemerVP @TaliaGold and @AlexandraSukin

Customer satisfaction is our main key performance indicator (#KPI), rather than revenue.

Great thread for #Founders

[Robby @robby_mtf]

What qualities do the best founders have?

At seed, I believe being able to identify outstanding founders is more important than being able to identify outstanding market opportunities.
