Such a cool idea by @trvisXX and @FortniteGame to have a virtual concert to release Travis Scott’s new song. A perfect marketing tactic that attracted millions of viewers stuck at home. #BCNMI https://t.co/I1UDKBDGCF

Our team met for the last time this weekend and we’re super excited to share our idea for Microsoft! Sneak peak: we’ll be talking about photos and cloud storage #BCNMI

I’ve watched a few more episodes on @Quibi of Chrissy’s Court and I Promise. I typically have a pretty short attention span, so I like the length of the content. But I’m definitely not hooked on anything. At this point, I don’t think I’d pay for the service myself #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

A relevant tweet from @Twitch after Team Twitch's presentation on Monday. Great to see the platform improving its Code of Conduct policies and working towards making content suitable for all audiences--would definitely make the platform more conducive to Twitch Academy #BCNMI

[Twitch @Twitch]

We've updated the Nudity and Attire Policy in the Community Guidelines. Check out our blog to learn more: https://t.co/g4PbA9pOf9

Just started my 90-day free trial of @Quibi and watched a few episodes of #ThanksAMillion —I really like that the content is filmed so that you can watch it full-screen on your phone both vertically and horizontally. I’ve never seen another platform do this. #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

Nervous about going grocery shopping and struggling to get a timely delivery date from services like
@Instacart or @PeapodDelivers? Really cool to see an Irish startup taking innovation to the next level to face the everyday challenges of #COVID19. #BCNMI https://t.co/84pM6SYHFx

@oconnoxb It's crazy to see how artists are reacting to the pandemic. Some are postponing, while others are releasing new music to connect with fans. I have a lot of respect for @DUALIPA releasing her album on time despite our situation! #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

@Microsoft again working towards making our WFH lives easier. @zoom_us has been great, but noise can be distracting if not everyone in the class is on mute. Microsoft Teams seems to be listening to its customers and improving its user experience. #BCNMI

[Microsoft @Microsoft]

New features in #MicrosoftTeams are helping people adjust to remote work and learning.

🔉 Real-time noise suppression minimizes distracting background noise.

🔌 Stay connected with offline and low-bandwidth support.

The government, along with several universities and tech companies, is working to collect and analyze data from our cell phones to track the #COVID19 epidemic. This is one situation where I'm ok with my data being collected. #BCNMI, what do you think?

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

Props to @Microsoft for making working and learning remotely feasible. I can only imagine how many companies are having employees rely solely on communicating through @Skype or @MicrosoftTeams. A great time for Microsoft to showcase the functionality of its products. #BCNMI

[Microsoft @Microsoft]

As businesses and schools move to remote work, here are some resources to help navigate these challenging times:

📚 Learn about distance learning
with @MicrosoftEDU

💬 Stay connected with @MicrosoftTeams

🧏 Navigate inclusivity with @MSFTEnable

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

My screen time has certainly gone up as a result of #COVID19. @netflix seems to be benefitting from the situation. @oconnoxb Netflix Party tonight? https://t.co/VlHTmHrn7S #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

@Microsoft featured as one of the first major employers to transition to working remotely. Microsoft joins thousands of companies making tough decisions and responding with actions such as granting parents additional paid time off to watch their children. #BCNMI #COVID19

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Microsoft's executives, with headquarters just a few miles from one of the United States’ worst coronavirus outbreaks, were among the first to confront the impact https://t.co/ieXo5M6WWT

@pjmcnealy @FaZeClan My gaming name would be CrownJewel-- a play on words using my nickname (Jules) and an optimistic outlook on my gaming skills #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

Really enjoyed the empire-building diagram exercise in class last week. Clearly, @Microsoft is not primarily a console business and would survive without @Xbox. This got me thinking-- can they work on integrating more of their dominating segments to expand into new markets?#BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

@amanda_mctague I'm with you! Every time an ad popped up I put my phone down and walked away for a minute--they definitely didn't keep me engaged. #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

After class last week, I started thinking: who do I trust with my data? I chose @Apple in our class survey. According to Forbes, @Microsoft announced plans to bring security solutions to iOS and Android at the RSA conference in SF. Cool to see these giants working together #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

Update— I ended up reaching level 6 of #archero. I was revived a few times by watching 20 second ads. I can’t say that I want to continue playing, but I’m pretty proud of my improvement. #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

After a challenging 40-ish minutes of playing, I’ve only made it to level 2 of #archero 😕 not too surprising since I’ve never been a gamer. Currently waiting for my lives to re-load; 50 minutes until I can try to redeem myself! #BCNMI

[Julia Amato @julamato3]

An interesting combo of tech and the influence of journalism—did President Trump sway the Pentagon away from Bezos after criticism by the WAPO? This seems like a win for Amazon. Looking forward to following this story. #BCNMI https://t.co/lhWFliGEzd

@Microsoft believes the future of data storage is within tiny pieces of glass. #ProjectSilica is focusing on using laser optics and AI to store data in the quartz glass. We've come a long way from storing our data on tapes and CDs. #BCNMI

[Microsoft @Microsoft]

The world is generating more #data than we can store.

But the storage solution may lie within a tiny piece of glass: https://t.co/YxoeDQEOn4 #ProjectSilica
