That 3D printed cell is a THING.

Let's be real about something.. LinkedIn is not what it used to be.. The original purpose died, only to rise up like a phoenix & evolve into what we see today! Great as it may be.... But c'mon! SEO tactics, growth hacks, money making schemes, lead magnet manifesto, colorful carousels of brand management and stupid, shameless, made up bullsh*t stories about 'rags to riches'... Seriously?? Why does every post have to be about getting leads, revenue generation and case studies? Can't we just share something simple? Like a cucumber slice to clean the palate.. Why can't we normalize posts like this one? ⏬ LinkedIn algorithm, do something about this already 😅 . . . #foodforthought #postoftheday #life

It's difficult to believe it's been a year since our launch — and what a year it's been! I wrote a brief letter in commemoration of the 1-year anniversary of our official launch to players (full letter below). So proud of our amazing team at Smerf — and honored to have the privilege to work with amazing publisher partners to serve players around the world. We have truly been blessed to welcome thousands of players into our app and foster new connections between so many amazing people on a daily basis. Start-ups are always difficult. Going from "zero" to "one" can seem impossible at times. When this scrappy group of gamers decided to leave their tech jobs to create Smerf to evolve the online player experience; we knew it would be a challenge to say the least. But we wanted to build something for ourselves and the other amazing players like us that are building community for the games they love. So it's only appropriate that our community of players truly took us from zero to one. [FULL LETTER BELOW] To our lovely Community, Partners, and Friends, Last week, we celebrated the 1-year anniversary of our official launch. We are pleased to report that this also marks more than 365 consecutive days of positive organic growth! We cannot thank you enough for your constant support! It’s our players that bring life into our app. Smerf was founded on the belief that gaming can be a force for good. It’s a social experience that has the power to bring people together to forge new, unlikely friendships in a medium that transcends so many of the barriers that divide us in our normal day-to-day lives. Today, that belief we once held has transformed into a full-blown conviction that gaming can improve people’s lives far beyond the game itself — as we have seen it time and time again and heard it from the amazing stories sent to us by players. Since the beginning, Smerf has been all about community! It’s because of your help that we‘ve come this far, and it is an honor to continue to see those that have supported us day-in and day-out since the start — helping identify bugs, offering valuable feedback, and so much more! It’s an honor and a privilege to get to meet so many players from across the world, work with so many communities, hear so many moving stories and ultimately, have so much fun! In the upcoming year, we look forward to new releases, feature improvements, and more exciting announcements. Our commitment to make Smerf the best place to build community for players and to deliver unparalleled online services to our esteemed game partners is just getting started. Thank you for your interest and support. Good Luck Have Fun, Zachary DeFord (Co-Founder & CEO)

let me know how we can help #sceniccintas

In today's hyper-competitive marketplace, businesses are constantly seeking ways to stand out and drive growth. One of the most effective strategies to achieve this is through exceptional customer care. A recent comment on LinkedIn caught my attention: "Taking care of customers isn't just a task; it's the essence of our business." This sentiment encapsulates a fundamental truth that every organization should embrace: putting customers first is not only beneficial for reputation but is also crucial for long-term success.

The end of the year hits differently for support folks. It’s not all hot cocoa and holiday parties—it’s ticket queues, tricky cases, and going above and beyond for customers That’s why Birdie is stepping in to celebrate the unsung heroes of support. Here’s the deal: 1️⃣ Nominate a support professional who’s absolutely crushing it this season by tagging them in the link in comments. 2️⃣ Share why they’re amazing—a quick shoutout about their hard work, empathy, or the impossible ticket they turned into a win. 3️⃣ That’s it! You’ve officially made their day and entered them to win some sweet prizes. We’ll randomly select three winners, announce them on Dec. 27, and send some well-earned joy their way. 🎁 But let’s be real: public recognition is the real gift here. 💡 Pro Tip: Repost, nominate someone, or share this to spread the word! The more support pros we celebrate, the better. Let’s show support folks some love this holiday season—they’ve earned it. 💙

A great example of how you can do good, and be a profitable business. It IS cool to care. Which really should be a baseline. If you don’t care about your clients, customers & partners, why are you doing it? This is why I know AI is not going to take over jobs and customer experience in the way people fear. How many people would either trash an automated email “thanking them” for their support? Or more likely, it goes right to spam or gets the inevitable “unsubscribe.” Now imagine getting a handwritten note or a personal gesture that can only come from human interaction. A very different experience! Let’s let AI automate things that are mundane, to support your team, so that they can do things to go the extra mile in whatever role they are in with your organization. Well done, Jesse Cole and the Savannah Banana org. It’s been awesome watching you grow, as a fan in baseball and business. #business #savannahbananas #goodbusiness #growth #caringiscool #ai #automation
