EVER NOTICE PRICES CHANGE AFTER CLICKING A LINK?

💸 Yes, companies absolutely change their prices based on your location and when you shop.

Once you click through to a website, their automated systems instantly adjust what you see. Here are the industries that do this the most:

✈️ Travel (Flights & Hotels): Prices fluctuate by the hour. They track your location (sometimes charging more if you browse from a high-income area) and your timing (raising prices if you check the same flight multiple times)
🛒 Online Retail Giants: Many websites track your location to automatically redirect you to a local storefront. This instantly changes the currency, regional taxes, and inventory pricing based on what local competitors are charging.

💻 Software & Streaming: Subscriptions often use location-based pricing. Companies deeply discount monthly rates in developing countries to win users, while charging a premium in the US and Europe for the exact same digital product.

The Takeaway: Prices are rarely set in stone online. Using a VPN, browsing in incognito mode, or clearing your cookies before clicking can sometimes score you a better deal! 🕵️‍♂️

EMPLOYERS BEWARE!

We have entered a new era. Not since the invention of the wheel has technology taken such an incredible leap. Juxtapose the achievements in tech in the 20 century to the potential advancements of the 21st with the advent of AI — It is a mouse to an elephant, and if not implemented wisely, that elephant could trample humanity into oblivion, or even worse, into slavery. We have opened Pandora's box, and the enigmatic contents should inspire awe, and yes fear! This is just my introduction to my motivation behind this post.

I would like to warn all people, manager and above levels that you face a new challenge in hiring remote staff or contractors. Right now I am capable of creating agentic bots that are experts in any particular field, give them legitimate credentials and offer services freelance.

The bot would be indistinguishable from a human in video interviews, phone calls and email. I could create ten bots and make a fortune, completely hands-off.

So you might say, if they get the job done — that's fine, really?
well try suing a bot for non-performance plagiarism, copyright infringement or anything else — it's a huge risk!

And this is just little-old me, with no formal education in AI, coding or agentic workflow. I imagine these entities are already out there!

Good to have completed this Professional course, taught by Google employees. It's just a refresher for me after doing this for over 20 years! This is valid for 3 years. The biggest changes are happening now, with AI, and the gradual elimination of browser "cookies". If you are in need of any marketing assistance, any size company from pre-launch to long established, the initial consultation is free.

This certificate verifies my successful completion of Google's "Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce" on Coursera

I have never advertised for clients, all meet me through referrals. I don't charge for consultations, so feel free to call me to discuss any project you may have - large or small. I have minimal overheads so my fees are very reasonable. Please see the company website for the extensive list of services.

How to delete your email and phone number from Facebook

It's common knowledge that Facebook knows everything about you, even the data you choose to withhold. Take, for example, your contact number or email address. Many of us opted out of giving this away when we signed up for Facebook, Facebook Messenger, or Instagram because we didn't want to be searchable using these pieces of data.

But, alas, many of us have realized that even if we don't provide data to Meta directly, someone else will. When someone signs up to any of Meta's services, they are asked if they want to share their entire address book to make it much easier to find connections. This is how Facebook got hold of details even if the user had never had a Facebook account.

Thankfully, we now have a tool to delete and keep our contact numbers and email addresses from Facebook permanently, even when someone we know agrees to share their entire address book.

Facebook released a tool in May 2022 that can permanently delete some user data—but the company has never talked about it.
