What makes real social media and good search engines?
STEVE
Is that work or, I’m on social media–
MARLO
Right.
STEVE
I use LinkedIn a lot for my day job.
MARLO
Yeah, I do too.
STEVE
Is that considered social media or is that a quote-unquote “productivity” and everything? But that’s everything. It’s all encompassing. The lawsuits, the mental health, the lost productivity, all of that goes into that. But it brings up a great point. the gray area. For me, I use LinkedIn a lot for my day job. And do you consider LinkedIn social media?
MARLO
Of course.
STEVE
Okay. So it’s also a tool that’s replaced email in a lot of space.
MARLO
But you could make the same argument for—
STEVE
So, is email social media?
MARLO
I don’t think it’s in the same realm, so I’d say no. Because that’s more of a direct messaging type of scenario—

MARLOI think a lot of people have. You have email right? But if they really wanna get a hold of you-–
STEVE
If you wanna get a hold of me. I tell everybody—
STEVE & MARLO
Text me.
MARLO
Or, but a lot of people, I mean our younger people aren’t using text like they used to either. So they use their social media platform. What I’ve noticed—
STEVE
Messenger, Snapchat.
MARLO
All of it. Instagram, TikTok. TikTok now has—
STEVE
It’s Russian. I try not to go there.
MARLO
It’s like you and I have to have, we have to be gurus of all the things. Because I have people that talk to me strictly through Facebook. I have somebody that I’ve been corresponding with about sponsoring a curling team. But it’s interesting. He’s contacting me through, Twitter my old cohort on the Tech Ranch. he’s a Facebook guy too but we always talk through Facebook, so we were messaging each other back and forth and I have some people that text me or message me through Twitter and now it seems...
