Hey. It’s Wil.
I write about the intersection of communications and technology, especially for those looking to build new ways to communicate with their B2B clients. Learn more about me. Thanks for being here.
At the beginning of last week, I was thinking about the impact of Truth Social, the new social app from the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). I’m mostly interested in the rollout, technology and impact (if any) to business audiences.
However, I’m still on the waiting list and it didn’t make much sense to crawl into the details before I had complete access.
As a quick aside, I did enjoy the waitlist message: “We love you, and you’re not just another number to us. But your waitlist number is below.”.
Ok.
Some other things that floated through my inbox, Matter and Overcast apps.
