[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Who is here for Google I/O this week? I just arrived!

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

@SEO_Suedwest @rustybrick @glenngabe @lilyraynyc @aleyda @JohnMu I see it here in Edge.

Salt Spring Island #earthquake off #yyj https://t.co/gzgr3lktfx

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Well that sure felt like an #earthquake #yyj

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Yes, just updated as a 3.1 off Salt Spring Island. Definitely felt the house shudder.

How can I stop this person from using my email address for ordering? When I attempt to get into the account, I can verify the 6 digit code from my email, but then it sends another 6 digit code to their phone (I guess added from their order?) so I can't ever login Help! @shoptemu

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

@shoptemu Some scammer used my email address (without ever verifying it!) for tons of orders, I keep getting hit with constant order/shipping/FedEx emails. How can I make this stop? Their phone number they used with ordering was added as 2FA so I cannot login.

Either Googlebot is doing bad things, or @porterairlines has set something wrong in how it handles Googlebot LOL

@rustybrick @MordyOberstein To be fair, if some of those emoji download sites weren't so atrocious with usability and aggressive ad serving, there wouldn't have been such a huge demand for it. It is so bad that when I had to download some recently for a project, I dusted off <nameless browser> just for it.

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

@SiteGround I was pleased with how quickly it was done! And thankful it wasn't the two days LOL!

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

I hate the fact that when you upgrade a hosting plan that it just locks your sites for "up to 2 days" for the upgrade. I thought I could still get work done and just backup then re-add after, but nope... @siteground actually locks the databases as soon as you upgrade :(

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

You can add “-ai” to your search to hide Google’s AI overview in the search results. I bet it will become the next adding “reddit” to the search query trick (unless Google decides to break it?) Also, fun party trick: try searching “-ai” on Google Trends and watch it meltdown LOL

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Well that is the biggest #earthquake I have felt...

cc @watchdutyapp Please allow non-US Apple users to download and use the app, especially those in California. My account is Canada based and get "This app is currently not available in your country or region." Many who are physically in CA have the same issue right now.

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

@alexeheath I wish they allowed those with non-US Apple accounts to download. I am in Cali right now, everyone links to it but it isn't available for non-US (or at least not to Canadian) Apple accounts. The web version won't show on mobile, since they want you to download app :(

I have seen lots of news sources in an overview of someone well known... first time I have seen a Reddit thread, especially one only 5 hours old... with random Ryan Gosling laughing meme as the image.

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Why hasn't Google figured out better targeting for "what people are saying" yet. The search "shoes" and we have someone stealing shoes (from a parody channel no less), someone deliberately dirtying and cleaning shoes, funny shoe barcrawl from Barstool Sports, and sports betting.

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Why is @CocaCola using an AI agency to create videos, when neither they nor the agency bother to check to make sure the logo is right... Coca-Loola LOL https://t.co/sl8K5eIWW0

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

All SEOs right now are playing the "is this the fallout from the end of the core algo update / is this the spam update / is this just because it's Christmas" game.
