Episode description

Would you pay $12 a month to be verified on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp? Looks like Meta is adopting the Twitter model. Did you know Bing just put a cap on how many questions you can ask in a chat session. After 30 years of the existence of HTML Google finally gives actual guidance on link best practices.

Erin Sparks and Mordy Oberstein examine these topics and much more on this episode of EDGEtalk.
