  A few years ago I built a small tool because I kept losing work inside Gmail: follow-ups, client notes, tiny tasks, project updates. All the things that sit between email threads, docs, spreadsheets, and memory. At first it was just for me. Then friends tried it, and after sometime a few teams. That was when the small details became harder to ignore. People adopt a tool because it fits the way they already work. Not becasue the demo is clever. I see the same thing with AI tools now. A prototype can look great in a demo, but Monday still starts in Gmail, spreadsheets, Slack, docs, calls, and half-finished notes. If the tool does not fit there, it becomes one more place people have to remember. For me, this started with a small task board inside Gmail. The same lesson applies to AI copilots, CRM updates, document workflows, and internal automation. Adoption usually comes down to something very ordinary: Does the tool understand the real work well enough that people keep using it after the demo?

  @okta new phone, can’t get on my account, can’t sign in because I can’t get a code without an account. So I can’t get on my DoD school site or anything but my account is under my Gmail, but I can’t get a QR code to scan because you won’t send me one. Customer service email no go

  So, contrary to this. If you don't have the patience to wait for your adsense to be approved yet again after following this steps. Then, get an already approved adsense (if you have or buy). Right on YouTube earnings page, click on *Change Association*, choose you already have adsense. Then it will request you sign in to the Gmail with adsense in in it. Link it and instantly your step 2 will be approved. Had it sorted out for my guy.

  🚨 LET'S TALK ABOUT WHY SO MANY BUSINESS GOOGLE ACCOUNTS ARE BEING LOST For many businesses, a Google account is the backbone of daily operations. It gives access to Gmail, Google Workspace, Drive, Calendar, Meet, cloud storage, financial records, customer communications, and countless third-party services. Unfortunately, many businesses don't lose access because of a technical failure—they lose it because early security warnings were ignored. It often starts with something that seems insignificant: • A login alert from an unfamiliar device. • A notification about suspicious activity. • A warning that recovery information should be updated. • A request to review connected devices. • An unfamiliar app requesting access to the account. • A password change notification that goes unnoticed. Many business owners dismiss these alerts, assuming they're routine. Days or weeks later, they discover they've been locked out. Once an attacker gains control, they may: • Change the account password. • Replace the recovery email and phone number. • Remove trusted devices. • Access confidential business documents. • Read customer emails and invoices. • Lock legitimate owners out of their own Workspace. The biggest mistake isn't always getting hacked. It's ignoring the warning signs that appeared beforehand. Protecting a business Google account means: ✓ Reviewing security alerts immediately. ✓ Keeping recovery information up to date. ✓ Enabling two-factor authentication. ✓ Regularly checking connected devices and active sessions. ✓ Removing unfamiliar apps with account access. ✓ Training employees to recognize phishing attempts. A business can recover from many setbacks. But losing access to the account that runs your emails, files, customers, and operations can bring everything to a standstill. Security warnings aren't just notifications. They're often your first opportunity to stop an attack before it becomes a complete account takeover. #teamdangeorge #GoogleWorkspace

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We hit send and the message arrives. Underneath that is a system with no built-in authentication and optional encryption, which is held together by 50 years of patches. Around 376 billion emails move every day, and close to half are spam. Here is the path each mail takes: 𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 When we hit send, the client submits the message to a server on port 587, which checks our login, stamps a message-ID, and passes it on. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 It is store-and-forward. If the receiving server is down, the message waits in a queue and retries on a back-off schedule: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, then hours, up to four or five days. Instant delivery just means the queue cleared fast. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 SMTP carries two "from" values. The envelope (MAIL FROM) routes the message between servers, while the header (From:) is the one we read. SMTP never checks that they match, and that gap is why phishing works. 𝟰. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 SMTP shipped with no way to prove who sent a message. So the industry added SPF (a list of authorized IPs), then DKIM (a cryptographic signature) to cover SPF's gaps, then DMARC to make the visible From: match one of them. Three DNS setups, all easy to misconfigure. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Email uses opportunistic TLS. The sending server asks if the receiver supports STARTTLS, encrypts if yes, and falls back to plain text if no. For Gmail or Outlook client connections it is effectively mandatory, but server to server it stays optional. TLS also protects the connection, not the content, so the servers read everything. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 A delivered message lands in the inbox, bounces with a 5xx error the sender sees, or gets moved to spam with no notice to anyone. RFC 5321 permits that last one. Email was built in the 1970s for a small network of researchers who trusted each other. Nobody planned for banking or phishing. Billions of messages still arrive correctly every day on top of all of it.

  Sukhwinder | Ecom Email Marketing (@HeySukhwinder) reported 14 minutes ago

  Most email marketers will tell you to email more. Daily. Twice daily. "Inbox dominance strategy." I tell my clients to email less. Way less. Here's why the engagement-over-volume philosophy generates more revenue for Shopify brands: A fashion brand doing $340K/month was sending daily emails. 7 emails a week, every subscriber, same content for everyone. Revenue was plateauing. Spam complaints were rising. Unsubscribes were climbing steadily every month. They believed the solution was MORE emails with BETTER offers to compensate for the decline. They were wrong. Here's the engagement math most brands completely miss: Email providers - Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook - track how subscribers interact with your emails. Every ignored email, every delete-without-opening, every spam complaint downgrades your sender reputation. Do the math: 10,000 subscribers at 40% open rate = 4,000 engaged readers 20,000 subscribers at 15% open rate = 3,000 engaged readers The bigger list generates FEWER actual readers. And significantly worse deliverability for the people who actually want your emails. Here's what makes it worse: When your sender reputation drops, your emails start landing in the Promotions tab. Then the Spam folder. Now your most loyal customers - the ones who open, click, and buy - can't find your emails either. You are literally punishing your best subscribers to keep sending to people who stopped caring months ago. It's the email equivalent of shouting at an empty room while the people who want to listen are locked outside. Step 1: Engagement-based pruning. Anyone who hasn't opened an email in 60 days? Suppress them from daily sends. They get a weekly digest instead - your best content, no pressure. Anyone who hasn't opened in 90 days? Move them to a 3-email re-engagement sequence. Real subject lines. Real offers. If they don't re-engage by email 3, sunset them completely. The fashion brand cut their active sending list by 40% immediately. The founder was terrified. Step 2: Frequency matching by engagement tier. High engagers - open and click regularly, buy multiple times: 3-4 emails per week. They want more from you. Medium engagers - open sometimes, rarely click, occasional buyers: 1-2 emails per week. Don't burn them out. Low engagers - open rarely, haven't purchased recently: 1 email per week. Give them your best content. Win them back slowly. Same total content volume. Radically different distribution. A better experience for everyone. The fashion brand's results after 60 days of sending LESS: Total emails sent: down 42% Total email revenue: up 63% Average open rate: 21% → 43% Unsubscribe rate: down 71% Spam complaints: down 58% They sent fewer emails. Made significantly more money. Their most engaged subscribers got MORE of what they actually wanted. More isn't better. Better is better. The brands that win in the inbox aren't the loudest. They're the most intentional. Send less. Send smarter. Target the people who actually want to hear from you. Watch what happens to your revenue. P.S. Shopify brands making +5 figures per month: If you're not leveraging email marketing the right way, you're missing out on higher revenue without more ad spend, a loyal community that actually loves your brand, and fun, engaging emails that sell without feeling like selling. DM me "GROWTH" if you're ready to level up.

  Simple as ABC. If you’re trying to set up your Adsense and you notice your network is ******. Don’t proceed. If you proceed and you eventually get a step two error first time. Don’t reapply with the same details or email or phone number. (This is after you get a step 2 error once) - close the Adsense account registered with the Gmail. - close the Google payment details (sometimes you’d find 2, close them all) - after closing both, your CHANGE ASSOCIATION on YouTube studio will disappear. - to make the CHANGE ASSOCIATION come back, you have to go back and reactivate the closed Adsense account. - after reactivating, wait a while until CHANGE ASSOCIATION comes back. - once the CHANGE ASSOCIATION comes back….get a new Email, a totally different fresh details, and fresh phone number. - make sure your network is good. And healthy. And proceed to register with the new email, details and phone number ( the new email has to be logged in on your device so you can click it) - after submitting, go back and close the Adsense you reactivated. And you’re done. Thanks

  Everyone keeps calling MCP the "USB-C for AI." That's actually a pretty good analogy. Before USB-C, every device needed a different cable. One for your phone. Another for your camera. Another for your laptop. AI tools used to have the same problem. Every app had its own custom integration. Want your AI to use Gmail? Build a Gmail integration. Want it to use GitHub? Build another one. Slack? Another. Notion? Another. MCP changes that. Instead of every AI model learning a different way to talk to every app, apps expose a standard interface. The AI learns one protocol. Then it can work with thousands of compatible tools. Think of it like this: 🔌 USB-C standardized hardware connections. 🤖 MCP standardizes AI connections. That's why so many companies are adopting it. Not because it makes models smarter... Because it makes connecting models to the real world dramatically simpler. Once you understand MCP, you'll realize it's less about AI... and more about making integrations finally speak the same language. #ai #llm #mcp

  Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok agree on almost nothing. They all quietly agreed on MCP. Here's the part nobody's telling you: there are 11,000+ MCP servers live right now, and fewer than 5% make a single dollar. The plumbing is built. The money isn't picked up yet. MCP is basically USB-C for AI. Before it, connecting an AI to your tools meant hand-wiring a custom integration every single time. Now you build one small server and every major AI can plug into it — Gmail, your database, Notion, any API. And you don't even need to be a real engineer anymore. You describe the tool, Claude or ChatGPT writes most of the server, you ship it in a weekend. The playbook is stupidly simple: → Find a boring workflow someone repeats every week → Build one sharp MCP server that kills it → Free tier for reach, paid tier for revenue → Charge per use, per seat, or per outcome Servers that actually solve something are pulling $500–3K/mo. Some hit $10K in six weeks. Built once, sold on repeat. The window where "understands MCP + ships one tool" is rare won't stay open long. The marketplace is empty. Be the one who fills it.

  The European Union 🇪🇺 just legalized scanning your private messages. The vote: 314 MEPs voted against it. 276 voted for it. It passed anyway. Rejecting it required an absolute majority of all 720 seats (361 votes). Not a majority of the room. So every empty chair on the last sitting day before summer recess counted as a yes. Classic @vonderleyen. More MEPs showed up to kill Chat Control 1.0 than to keep it. It became law regardless. Live until 2028. Platforms can now scan unencrypted messages again: Gmail, Instagram DMs, Discord, Snapchat, Xbox. WhatsApp and Signal got carved out. For now. This is how rights slowly disappear. Not in one dramatic moment. In procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone is distracted with the World Cup and the USA-Iran war. The mandatory version is still coming. Client-side scanning, the one that breaks encryption itself. Trilogue resumes in September. Chat Control 2.0 is coming. Watch that one.

  You connect Gmail to an agent and it quietly gets all ~30 tools that server exposes. Most agents need one or two. So it walks around holding access it never touches. Every unused tool is one more way to pick wrong, one more thing you trust on every run.

  @mistressdivy It varies where it’s coming from because it could be a data transfer issue (try again when next email comes) or the sender ignores it and emails you again for whatever purpose. You can look through the ‘manage subscriptions’ in gmail to see all the emails you’re subscribed to.
