As an occasional Twitter/X visitor I was struck by how tricky it's become as a channel for businesses. Ended up writing a piece about it for the Business Post in Ireland.

Look at the horror of the Israel-Hamas war: then at Elon Musk’s X site. It’s clear he’s not fit to run it | Marina Hyde https://t.co/3YLJNAg38k

@jordanbpeterson @TorontoStar @nytimes @guardian @JustinTrudeau That'll be the same woke 'legacy media' you misrepresented in the blurb for your book - making out they liked it when they didn't. Any comment on this story? https://t.co/OI4GTUNM9g

@jordanbpeterson @joerogan @RobertKennedyJr It'd be a big change of format for you Jordan, having people on the pod with opposing views. Long overdue.

A very worthwhile read for media, communications, and marketing professionals interested in the risks and rewards of AI. Feel free to reach out if you need AI support. Massive thanks to @campbell_ic and @businessposthq for a brilliantly written feature. #ArtificialIntelligence

@Sonos I woudn't spend another cent on Sonos. Just wasted an hour trying to reconnect two speakers to a new WiFi network with the help of Support and had to blow the dust off an Ethernet cable. Had to download the app again too. Clunky barely describes it. Like something out of 2010.

@SkyHelpIreland Not for the first time as a long-standing Sky customer, I downloaded the My Sky App and been underwhelmed to the point of instantly uninstalling it again. This time I went to get the Christmas Apple TV offer. All I get is a number to call - 0818 904 134 - which doesn't work.

@GNev2 What about Ralf Rangnick as interim Prime Minister?

I guess we both suck at our jobs. #BorisJohnson

@OwenJones84 Unfortunately, the left of the Labour Party have a locker full of ideas that have failed to win over the electorate - three times. So how about some ideas for solving the conundrum, Owen, rather than repeatedly knocking the current leadership.

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@OwenJones84 Dilyn the dog.

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@jordanbpeterson @DouglasKMurray Enjoy listening to you Jordan, but you're falling into the trap of producing an echo chamber. You rarely have guests you disagree with and premises go unchallenged. Same with Owen Jones at the opposite end of the political spectrum. Maybe you should have each other as guests!

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@OwenJones84 @BetckeTimo Yet infighting is your main contribution to the current Labour Party.

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@OwenJones84 Why does your podcast frequently discuss labour and its leadership with no one representing the the centre and right of the party?

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@OwenJones84 I suspect labour people just exacerbated by the battles you pick. Begs the Pete Seeger/Billy Bragg question, 'Which side are you on, Owen, which side are you on?"

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@quantick Bit hard on Bob.

@HSBC_UK It's really not complicated, just tell them to contact me and explain why they've suspended my account. Again, why should I pay for an overseas call - that will inevitably be expensive because I'll be put on hold for more than 30 minutes - when it was you who took the action?

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@HSBC_UK I'm abroad and it costs me a fortune to call your number - especially when you keep me on the line for nearly an hour. And if you decide to suspend my account, don't you think you should contact me to (a) tell me you did it and (b) explain why? You have my details.

[Ian Campbell @campbell_ic]

@HSBC_UK @WhichUK A joke. I spent an hour yesterday on your helpline after trying and failing to make an online purchase. In the process my account was suspended. Security were not there and I was told to ring back today to presumably spend another hour on the phone. Terrible service.
