I'm contracting 2 days a week with a company and am forced to use CoPilot. Makes me appreciate Claude all that much more on my other days. #stopemojis

I've got my tradie other half and his business partner using Claude to plan out software and watching them discover how much better Claude is than CoPilot is so much fun to watch.

Can confirm Claude is fantastic at editing backgrounds in headshots. 10/10. No notes.

Google are not trying to understand whether it's AI or human written content. As always, your content needs to bring value to the user. #Searchcentrallive #sclsyd26 I'm in Sydney, if you're at Search Central live come say hi ✌️

Why don't I have any Disk Space 🤔🫠

Oh XAMPP my old friend. It's been a long time.

Google renaming Looker Studio back to Data Studio is clearly because I've been too stubborn to call it Looker Studio this whole time right?

Well, this is completely screwed. Gemini is out there saying someone's business is a scam. And I don't even know what I can recommend they do when Gemini's hallucinations are this bad.

So the question is.. do I bother redirecting 404s from AI hallucinated referrals on the slight chance that it'll hallucinate the same url? 😏

Yet another example of Google AI pulling through old interest rates from a news article... wonder when Google's getting their ASFL? The news article on the right is from 2024 for Term Deposit rates.. which change all the time. You'd think they have some guard rails for age of article...

First time using AI Mode in Australia. Straight away feeds me incorrect information. And so the misinformation of the internet continues.

This is still the best phone I've ever owned. Bring back physical buttons that let me control music. #nokia5200

Just a friendly reminder to Google your personal phone number as mine showed up on a creepy website showing addresses and phone numbers of Australians. Not going to link to it as it's such a privacy risk.

Got a comment. Wrote a story. Included it. Also speculated. www.pickr.com.au/news/2025/go...

Google's AI mode goes global, but not in Australia – Pickr

AI is everywhere, and even a part of Google Search, but Australians will miss out on the agentic "AI Mode" of Google, at least for a little bit longer.

Check out the 'Crawl to refer' ratios below of the various AI platforms -> The crawl-to-click gap: Cloudflare data on AI bots, training, and referrals blog.cloudflare.com/crawlers-cli...

So does anyone in the Aus SEO community know why AI Mode isn't being rolled out to Australia yet? My guess is our general legislation restrictions but haven't found any substantial information yet.

NEW research: sparktoro.com/blog/new-res... Thanks to @LiveDatos, we've got remarkable charts showing: - The changing growth rate of AI tool use - Distribution of AI usage - How traditional search engines have fared Trust me, you don't want to miss it 😉👇

"site: example.com" =/= "site:example.com"

Is this new? Tool tip in a featured snippet? Also, in Aus Finance SERPs I'm seeing an increase of featured snippets - which I'm quite happy about.

Thanks for your very generous words Salls! I was about to post my slides over here. Here, you'll get to see them first: gastonriera.com/scl-dd-slides It has a few extra slides about the examples I shared 😉

Why Women in Tech isn't enough

Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

I'm on my way to the gym and can check this later but in the meantime ... A blend should do it. The first table is your metric without a breakdown and the second table is your metric with a breakdown. Blend and then make a calculated field of sum(breakdown metric)/sum(total metric). I'll confirm!

A mate was at trivia the other night. The question was "What does the O in SEO stand for? " Then he said, "Anyone who knows the answer is insufferable to talk to." 😂😅
