My daughter got engaged, so the web guy dad built her a wedding planning site. The vendor problem turned it into a directory: 6,288 verified NY NJ CT wedding vendors, built from their own websites, nobody pays to rank. Vendors: your listing may already be live.

Your website is the evidence file. Most people appeal the verdict, almost nobody fixes the evidence: https://t.co/Jq606y3ZhJ

A friend I know got his Google Business Profile suspended.

His site was an unfinished demo template. Every call button dialed another business's number. A careers page for an industry he never worked in.

We fixed the site. Google approved the appeal the next day.

Live dashboard. A real client of ours, names and contact details masked. The numbers update every time you refresh: https://t.co/EfNtQ7zNWP

29 years running a marketing agency. New clients all tell me the same story:

"We paid every month. We got a PDF. We could not point to one customer it brought us."

My clients get a live dashboard instead. Every call, form, and chat. Real one below, anonymized. Refresh it.

A stranger just planned a New York trip for 15 people on his phone.

He imported flight bookings. AIrConxt read them - 15 adults on one flight from Asia, landing after midnight - and built 8 days, 46 activities around them.

Its first tip: pre-book a car. 15 people. 12:50am. JFK.

Live now. Plan a trip free, book the hotel inside it: https://t.co/VLclioI3In @airconxt

[Yeon S. Hong @internetebiz]

New in AIrConxt: book the hotel inside the trip.

You planned the days. The app knows your dates and your city. Why are you retyping them into five other tabs?

Open trip, tap book, paste the confirmation back in. The hotel sits on the right days.

From our lounge database: 1,080 lounges open with Priority Pass alone. Odds are you're carrying it and don't know.

[Yeon S. Hong @internetebiz]

Type in your flights. That's it.

AIrConxt comes back with the lounges at your departure airport and every layover, matched against the cards you carry.

Decent chance you've been paying for a quiet seat, fast wifi, and a free meal you've never once used.

My own app sent me to the wrong lounge in Houston. I'm the founder. That one stung.

So we audited the 16 busiest US airports against the operators' own pages: ~250 duplicate lounges, closed ones still listed as open, one nobody had listed at all.

2,301 verified lounges now.

Building AIrConxt, this was one of the first things I wanted it to catch. How to check → https://t.co/2q9nskx28m @airconxt

[Yeon S. Hong @internetebiz]

Most business travelers already have airport lounge access and never use it. It's bundled into your credit card, your fare class, or your airline status, and nobody tells you. Check before your next flight — that's a free meal and a quiet seat you're walking right past.

1/ I asked ChatGPT to plan a real trip. Three cities, flights and trains, a few days each. It handed me a confident, generic list that fell apart the moment the trip got complicated. So I built the thing I actually wanted.

4/ If you've ever watched an AI tap out halfway through something complicated, you'll get why I made this.
