Elon Musk "announces" $8 per month Twitter Blue package

We've seen a lot of development at Twitter since #ElonMusk took over. First, he was probably trolling about charging $20 per month for a blue verified stick. Musk now says that they’re planning to offer verification ticks to all users for $8 per month, to combat the class divide in the app. Besides the blue tick, the subscription will also get you access to:

• Priority in replies, mentions, and search
• Ability to post long video and audio
• Half as many ads
• Paywall bypass for selected publishers

I am not sure if this will allow scammers to spread fake news even more, what's your opinion on this one? (via?Social Media Today )

Tools for marketers: Mighty Networks

As I'm working on being more consistent in building my #personalbrand that will also help grow my #marketingagency , I put a lot of work into finding the right platform for bringing my network closer together and where I could share my tips and tricks with new courses I'm about to publish. I've discovered Mighty Networks where you can group your network by interest, do live online events, and share podcasts + even courses. Basically I all need in one platform. I haven't tested it yet, but I've spoken to a few colleagues that use this and it works perfectly for them. I will let you know how it worked for me in the upcoming months but meantime, I challenge you to give it a try and let me know.
