I was recently asked by @matbennett to contribute to some research he was doing about #CRM for agencies.

As this is a topic I'm profoundly interested in (folks who follow me may know we're platformed @HardNumbers on @HubSpot) and the findings make for interesting reading.

Have a gander at the results, here:

@SouthernWater Unfortunately not very helpful. It just confirmed that there is an unconfirmed discharge.

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

Can @SouthernWater confirm that if is a current pollution discharge affecting Hayling Island? SSRS is reporting one but I thought these were storm discharges & there has been no rain.
My kids were swimming today, so also keen to know when any discharge started

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@agencycollectve I'm OG! 😀 Thanks for featuring me..always happy to take part

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@SouthernWater Thanks for the reply. The report I got was from my kids, so could be mistaken sea foam (maybe schools should start teaching this stuff as discharges a lre so common!). Insane others had reported sightings of sewage on the app too though

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

Hey, @SouthernWater is your detection/reporting all ok? The @sascampaigns SSRS app says no report near us but the poo slick off Hayling seafront suggests otherwise

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@AkehurstHeather @openawards You caught me on video dancing to it too!

@hotelscomhelp I can't be uninstalling and reinstalling apps every time I want to do something. 2 different devices. App and web. Chances of this being an issue in my devices is close to zero.

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@hotelscomhelp FYI your "improved" login process has now effectively stopped me being a customer.

@JoelKlettke I've taken part in them for other areas of the business, but not cloud. It was always an external company doing the work so they probably don't have that excuse to be terrible.

@AlfiePayne5 @TheRAC_UK That's crazy. blown tyre/puncture has to be the most most common cause of a call out. I pay @TheRAC_UK to insure against my or my family being stuck at the side of the road because of such events.
Why dispatch a patrol that doesn't have a multifit when they know the issue??

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

I'm on Xwitter a lot less these days, because it is becoming a place I am less comfortable being part of. Most of my nonsense has now migrated to Blu*sky. If you are a person I have occasionally interacted with here and want a invite for there let me know.

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@sufumarketing Oh, you enjoy that. Incan see the IOW from my house (if i stand on the roof). The Solent was looking pretty lumpy yesterday

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@Tesco We managed to get hold of someone in the end by help pages / chat are very poor

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@Tesco what's to beat way to reach you for missing grocery delivery. Slot missed by 90 mins, chat pointing us at phone. Phone running us around in circles. No call from driver.

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@SEOLadyUK I don't give them money. Insane if you now have to pay to see notifications.
It's less of a breaknim taking, more of a slow migration

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

Seems that Twitter notifications just died for me. Got notifications on my phone, but the notifications in app says I've never had one since I joined Twitter

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

@SEOLadyUK I haven't had the update yet. Some suggestion it's iPhone first (I'm android). Seemed shady enough that it was with coming back here to share (I'm twittering less)

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

Keep an eye on your Xwitter settings people. Twitter is rolling out audio/video calls. The default settings is that anyone you follow can call you.

[Mat Bennett @matbennett]

Never understood why some publishers let their monetisation partners endanger their standing like this.
When I ran a competitor we'd refuse to do this. I'd have made a lot more money if He hadn't taken so long to enforce their own rules!

[Cyrus SEO @CyrusShepard]

80% of sites that reached out to me publicly/privately after being hit by Google's HCU update had one common denominator

All ran Mediavine, Adthrive, etc with ads that follow user scroll and cover the main content

It wasn't simply a Google content update. It was a UX update too
