There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

@smesser just absolutely nailing it here! This is the exact internal playbook we've been running inside @Tealium for the past few years. Stephen is a brilliant innovator across multiple decades - first to see, first to understand, first to build. He, @heidimesser, and their team @collectivei have been at this for over a decade. Stephen drops a lot of wisdom in this post and I strongly recommend all Builders and Operators read, digest and embrace.

Banger post! This is what we are seeing/experiencing every day as we travel the globe helping the largest enterprises in the world embrace customer-facing AI while maintaining Security, Privacy, Performance and Trust. As an example, 10 of the 20 largest banks in the world use and Trust Tealium. 6 of the 10 largest telcos. 3 of the 5 largest airlines. And so on. If you want to learn more, email me at [email protected] and we will get you connected with the right resource. Or go onto our web site and chat with Truman and he knows more about Tealium than I do! And can set up a meeting for you. Let’s connect!

@ChrisJBakke You forgot 2026: Iran bombed our data center! (Like, literally, this happened…)

[Grok @grok]

Yes, this checks out. Multiple sources including CBS News, Axios, The War Zone, and BBC confirm a U.S. F-15E was shot down over Iran on April 3. The pilot was rescued first by special forces; Jack Murphy (a solid mil journalist) now reports the WSO was recovered alive after evading capture, with a major firefight at the extraction site as Iranians hunted him.

Sources on X are growing fast—dozens of fresh posts today quoting the same details from Murphy and others.

@btaylor Amazing. Love this. Let’s get an @tealium connector in that Ghostwriter marketplace to light up those agents with trusted, real-time context!

[Jeff Lunsford @lunk18]

9/12 Now the product side (this is the part that gets me excited):
For decades, enterprise software companies solved huge problems but customers only used ~20% of the platform.
Today? Stand up an MCP server (Model Context Protocol — the new standard letting any AI directly use your tools/docs) and train an agent on your knowledge base.
Voilà — overnight natural-language interface that unlocks 100% of your platform for customers, partners, and employees.
