Great to see companies we visited on #BCSTT working towards positive environmental impacts! As was emphasized at the BC Tech Council event, businesses in any industry can encourage sustainable practices #D
We're proud to be on track to exceed our goal to reduce energy by 10% globally in 2020, and our partnership with @ENERGYSTAR has been a key driver in helping us along the way. https://t.co/RvdH7Aj5ie #ENERGYSTARday
Very insightful read. I think this advice can relate to a lot of companies we visited on #BCSTT in terms of designing products and services that users love

One week ago today, we were on the bus heading to #BSCTT in New York! Check out my blog post about my most valuable insights from the Tech Trek experience, focusing on the advice to "get comfortable being uncomfortable"

Thanks @dens for an incredible visit at @Foursquare! Great to hear about your innovative and ethical uses of technology. Iโm excited to see what great things Foursquare will continue to accomplish #BCSTT

Interesting video. I also use Google Photos rather than iCloud because of storage and ease of use. I wonder what value Google sees in offering unlimited free storage of photos... #BCSTT
@emily_audycki This is really interesting and seems to be a major shift, considering how iTunes was a dominating feature of Apple for so many years, but I believe that it is for the best. With few people using iTunes to purchase individual songs anymore, its main use is fading out #BCSTT
I've always been a believer in the power of a positive mindset. This article describes how in order to be a successful entrepreneur, a growth mindset can make all the difference. Instead of asking, "Can I?," ask "HOW can I?" #BCSTT
Twitter has admitted to using phone numbers & email addresses provided during account set-up for targeted advertising, without permission. How can tech companies deal with the responsibility of ensuring that our personal information isn't used without our consent? #BCSTT#D
@emily_audycki I haven't personally used Dark Mode yet, but I think it can have a lot of benefits in terms of being easier on the eyes, helping us sleep better, and saving battery life, so it's exciting that Instagram is supporting this feature #BCSTT
@ChrisWhipple17 I think this is a good move on Insta's part, showing that they are willing to get rid of features that have potential negative effects on their users. Personally, I have never felt that the feature was immensely interesting/helpful anyways #BCSTT
A cybersecurity expert describes the underground hacker network where stolen usernames and passwords are 'traded like Pokรฉmon cards' https://t.co/HUt0tii4qT
@NateWare13 I believe this could definitely have a negative effect on ride-sharing companies if more airports do this. Customers could be less inclined to take an Uber if they have to shuttle to a separate lot to do it #BCSTT
@profkane@ChrisWhipple17 I agree that 12-24 yr olds are a key demographic, & Snapchat has generally succeeded w ads targeting them. My research also indicates that the younger end of this group can be a tricky group to market to though considering a lack of credit cards & ability to make purchases #BCSTT
