Great day and shipped a major new feature amongst plenty of chatter: surff.io/data Help us beta test some survey tech… @zoidian @SuperteamUK #TechNExt26
Newcastle @SuperteamUK is buzzing today. Some new faces too! We’re looking forward to #TechNExt26 next week. The North East’s largest tech festival.

Your attention is being traded as a commodity. Here's how the system actually works—and what you can do about it.

The creator economy is worth $250B, but 96-99% of creators never earn full-time income. Here's why the model works structurally but fails individually: #creatoreconomy #fairdata

Things changing fast. How will software engineering look in 6 months?!
In 2026 does the vibe code sit in the development team or does the developer sit in the vibe coding team? #vibecoding #building #shipping #coding

Marketing didn’t get more complex because people changed. It got complex because journeys fragmented and data lost its connective tissue. Rebuilding that matters. @Adobe @Marketing #Surff #OurDataOurRules #ManageShareFair

Every interaction online creates value. But who gets the upside today? We think the people creating that value should have a say. #OurDataOurRules #ManageShareFair

We’re exploring a fairer way to manage and share data — built with users, not around them. #OurDataOurRules #ManageShareFair

Just an example of our digital footprint being an asset. This, our idle devices but its extensible from hardware into our data and online activity… Hardware layer ✅ Data layer ✅ Our footprint, our rules, our asset. @surff_io @Theta_Network #privacyFirst #fairEconomy
#3 Word of the Week - Edge Cloud ❄️⚡ New day, new drop. Today we’re diving into a core building block of next-gen cloud architecture: Edge | Cloud a distributed model that places compute nodes closer to the user. By processing data at the edge, computation happens on nearby nodes rather than in distant data centers, resulting in lower latency, faster responses, and reduced bandwidth usage. @Theta_Network pushed this further. The Theta EdgeCloud unlocks a decentralized global compute layer built from idle resources, ideal for AI tasks, video transcoding, and high-demand media workloads. Fast. Scalable. Everywhere.
