Quick thread:

I want you all to meet Vladimir Bondarenko.

He’s a blogger from Kiev who really hates the Ukrainian government.

He also doesn’t exist, according to Facebook.

He’s an invention of a Russian troll farm targeting Ukraine. His face was made by AI.

New @Gartner_IT data reveals that 88% of Boards of Directors view #cybersecurity as a business risk, as opposed to a technology risk. Live from #GartnerSEC, read more about the need for enterprises to treat cybersecurity as a business decision. https://t.co/OEgFOG78Ze #CISO

Ask yourself:

Could this meeting be a zoom?
Could this zoom be a phone call?
Could this phone call be an email?
Could this email be a text?
Could this text be unsent?

Could we in silence retreat to the forest?
Could we, by game trails & forgotten paths, vanish into the trees?

An iconic @zoom_us moment (*sound on*)

IT firms will need to reinvent their megaconferences. Virtual events, keynotes via TV quality production studios, breakouts on collaboration platforms, shorter (1 day or less)

@labeveryday hi there! I'd love to get your further thoughts on this for an article I'm writing. Are you free to chat briefly via phone or email? (Feel free to shoot me an email [email protected] if so.) Thanks!

[Alissa Irei @TechAlissa]

@lykinsb hi, Brett! I just sent an email to your gmail address asking if you're available to chat about a feature story I'm writing... (I read one of your recent blog posts and would love to get your further thoughts!) Let me know if you don't get the email. Thanks!

@Meatwad650 hi there! I'm a journalist covering wireless, & I'm curious, do you use "Wi-Fi 6" or "802.11ax" more in conversation? Do you think IT pros should default to old or new Wi-Fi naming conventions... or does it not matter? Email is [email protected] if easier. Thanks!

[Alissa Irei @TechAlissa]

@CaNerdIan I'm a journalist covering wireless...I'm curious, do you use "Wi-Fi 6" or "802.11ax" in conversation? i.e. Do you think IT pros should default to the original or new Wi-Fi naming conventions... or does it not matter? Email is [email protected] if easier. Thanks!

[Alissa Irei @TechAlissa]

@zim_az hi there! I'm working on a TechTarget feature article re: wireless networks in stadiums & wondering if you or Braves networking pro could share high-level thoughts on growing Wi-Fi demand? (We spoke to you in '17 about augmented reality & enjoyed your insights.) Thanks!
