🚨 Some news: I’m excited to join @BusinessInsider this January as Meta Correspondent!

It’s a fascinating time to cover Meta as it pursues generative AI with Llama, doubles down on Threads, and advances its mixed-reality ambitions, even as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp continue to shape billions of lives and businesses globally. I've reported on the profound impact of Meta’s platforms across South Asia and beyond, and I’m also eager to bring this global perspective to my reporting on this beat.

I can’t wait to get started with @alistairmbarr, @immelty, and the incredible tech team at Business Insider soon!

If you’re a current or former Meta employee anywhere in the world, reach me on Signal — your identity is safe with me. If you’re in the Bay Area, I'm also open to connecting in person. https://t.co/AQUnEDwY8l

@_vgnsh I can quickly check the Libby app manually, and then quickly check both local libraries' websites to see if the book is available. It *is* faster than Muse doing it via its own computer use. But the point is that I would have to do it myself every single time.

Wow, this is a real shame. The ability to view a model of Apple Park in AR was amazing and a big tourist attraction. Have taken so many friends and family visiting from India to see it, and it always blows people away.

@heysaik @MacRumors it was really, really good.

@pleokumo @Muse @LibbyApp How

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @PranavDixit]

I just wired up a @Muse workflow I’m *completely* obsessed with.

I name a book. Muse checks my @LibbyApp account and, if an ebook is available immediately, borrows it and sends it to my Kindle.

If not, it compares the fastest wait time on Libby with the wait for a physical copy at my two local libraries, chooses whichever method will get me the book sooner, and notifies me when it’s ready.

This is so slick and works so well, I can hardly believe it!

The kicker? I can't hook up Muse to my @goodreads because Amazon blocks it.

Excited to launch VC Insider! Starting with a newsletter

Business Insider's CMS is also called...Muse. Talking about Meta coverage is chaotic right now.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @PranavDixit]

Muse is my favorite Meta product after WhatsApp.

@ZeffMax @WSJ Congrats!

[mat honan @mathonan]

Welp.

Feels a bit like Deja Vu but someone with a .jp email account has hacked / taken over my @mat account.

I submitted a request but if anyone @X can help me get it back I would appreciate it!

Reverting all my account logins back to passwords from passkeys so my agents have an easier time logging in.

@vedicakant ? Still using it on WhatsApp
