KanishkaKloud visualises what MPs talk about most - by collating and filtering data from every word they’ve ever said in Parliament.

It’s part of my All Hands on Tech campaign, highlighting that we can all build and use positive tech in our lives, economy and democracy. How it works + why I built it👇

Spencer builds some amazing things and this is definetly one of them (and damn is it fast and responsive)🗳️ https://t.co/GOpawH10fp

[Spencer Powell @Beefshaver]

Now that all the party platforms have been released, it's a good time to announce https://t.co/akT8PdAgLF! I've been working on a website to collect and track all of the promises that are being made for your vote. #bcpoli

[Edward Leung @Edwardism]

Love to see it.

[Andrew Arenge @MrArenge]

NEW: Last night, the Harris campaign launched 25 new digital ads all running on various platforms (Meta, Google + Snapchat). These latest ads are vertical videos.

This 🧵 will go through all of the new ads.

The first one uses Donald Trump's own words from a recent rally

@dylankrugerbc Congrats Dylan!

[Edward Leung @Edwardism]

I can't believe it.

Huge congrats to @terrybeech - Burnaby North Seymour has been lucky to have such a thoughtful and hard working MP and I can't wait to see him bring the same energy to his new portfolio.

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

Folks are arriving for the cabinet shuffle right now at Rideau Hall. Our first newcomer, Terry Beech has arrived with his family #cdnpoli

[Jack Appleby @jappleby]

Okay, I ran a reallyyy cool study on influencer marketing.

You've seen #ad.
You've seen #partner.

I worked with @Swayable to test which ad disclosures create the highest product consideration and purchase intent within branded content.

A Twitter Analysis 🧵:

[Lia Haberman @liahaberman]

Meta’s been briefing creators on it’s upcoming text-based app — now looking at a possible late June launch.

Details are in my newsletter but I’ll list some highlights 🧵

[Matt Navarra @MattNavarra]

YouTube is bringing unskippable 30-second ads to TV

The new unskippable ads will be seen in the top 5% of its most-viewed and most-engaging videos.

YouTube will also show ads when you pause videos.

This is a BFD. Shows how much the Biden @WhiteHouse is prioritizing digital!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

The United States and Canada have built a close and extensive relationship – I look forward to continuing to write our shared future together.

[Edward Leung @Edwardism]

Surprised it took this long for TikTok to start mobilizing their users. Digital advocacy takes time to build a movement, even if you have 150m advocates.

[Matt Navarra @MattNavarra]

TikTok CEO warns company at 'pivotal' moment in the U.S

"Politicians have started talking about banning TikTok"

"This could take TikTok away from all 150m of you"

He asks TikTok users to leave comments telling U.S lawmakers "what you love about TikTok" https://t.co/pgvsCtObCs

[The Verge @verge]

TikTok will limit teens to 60 minutes screen time a day (but you can turn the limit off) https://t.co/HEyU7OCBdZ

[Tom Warren @tomwarren]

Microsoft will limit Bing chat to 5 replies to stop the AI from getting real weird. There's also a cap on 50 total replies per day, after the Bing chatbot went off the rails multiple times this week. Details: https://t.co/484yIcBLmm

While I could never fix the latency issues to have Stadia replace my PS4, the times that it did work flawlessly it felt like I was in the future.

Thanks for everything team Stadia, and especially for being trailblazers.

[Edward Leung @Edwardism]

(Also can't help but be a little proud that @JustinTrudeau is punching above our weight internationally and able to effectively leverage Twitter to advocate for Canadian values abroad🇨🇦)

[Edward Leung @Edwardism]

While we often talk about Twitter's influence on politics in US/Canada, it's rare that we get a comparative study internationally - Really exciting work from my WPP colleagues who are leading the way on #DigitalDiplomacy

[Twiplomacy #DigitalDiplomacy @Twiplomacy]

🚨 Our 2022 Twiplomacy World Leader Power Ranking is here!

2022 has been a year of change for world leaders and #Twitter. As longstanding analysts of #DigitalDiplomacy, we’ve kept a watchful eye to understand who and what drives influence on Twitter

[Edward Leung @Edwardism]

Rest in power, sweet prince. Thank you for all the joy you and @jongraz brought us, today's #BonesDay is for you.

[Does Noodle Have Bones @NoodlesBonesDay]

Noodle passed away yesterday. The sweet old man brought us all so much joy, celebrate him today and celebrate your own babies at home. Please allow Jonathan the space to grieve and keep him and his close ones in your hearts today.

I don't know if you all remember the "I Voted" sticker design contest for Ulster County that went viral and the internet all voted for this design but...it really did win, and they are using it for the current election: https://t.co/POAaLCEFC9
