So I've dropped a YouTube video here, Gary Vee on stage offering us what he feels are the best social media practices in order to find success, especially as an entrepreneur or business. So I know for me, Gary Vee, when he hops up on stage, often brings a lot of value just through the Q&A that he does, not necessarily the keynote itself, but that he breaks down the questions that people have. And a lot of the questions that are in this video could be extremely helpful for you.

Let's get the ball rolling with Twitter. So Twitter is getting rid of Audience Insights, and for many of you, you've never even checked your Twitter analytics, but rest assured, for those of you that are like me, losing more data from Twitter is an unfortunate thing. Now, Audience Insights were just a general overview. There wasn't a ton of specifics, but it gave you a decent feel for who your community was, kind of what their interests were, where they came from. But that is going the wayside, and I suspect that's done for the purpose of them boosting their ad platform in order to get a better understanding of who your community is. It's going to be an ad performance thing as opposed to a— you can just pop in and know what your community is doing at any given time. So there's that, guys. As always, if you want more details, there's always articles down below breaking apart these issues, topics, ideas.
