Our VP of sales and marketing has some wise words on visually monitoring your brand, and your competitors.
If you see some positive content about a competitor, that’s something you might be able to leverage. But if you see some negativity building, you can obviously look to avoid that pothole yourself, says Declan McGonigle from @VisualAIPeople bit.ly/3gIOIMI #salestech

pretty terrific analysis by @Andrew_O_Neill_ of the immediate future for tech innovation and VC in the Irish and European ecosystems linkedin.com/pulse/understan… I will admit that I'm biased about any article that features @alexprest and @lucaboschin, my fav Irish/Italians 💚😍

Change fares are 3x a brand new flight. @Ryanair you can't help screwing clients no matter the circumstances
Replying to @Ryanair
Only its not free of charge, the flights are SO MUCH dearer in the change flight option compared to a brand new flight search! Scandalous!!! A change fee would be cheaper!! First pic is in manage booking - second pic is brand new search. Exact same dates and destinations! Shame!!

I have an idea! Companies should onboard employees with an internal podcast. It would focus on: - Company history - How decisions are made - Industry 101 - How the company makes money - Long-term goals and company vision Fast, efficient, and fun for everybody.

Anna takes us through the last 100 years ( 😮) of #artificialintelligence in great details. Lots of colleagues and friends along this journey @navneetdalal "Perhaps today's most expensive resource for building computer vision systems is training data." lnkd.in/eDdScxV
