HootSuite Server Overload and the Bad PR Day
Share
When you are dependent on a tool, doesn't your world get hectic without it? HootSuite is a fabulous little helper, one even more appreciated when scheduled maintenance (or any other kind) takes it down, along with the delusion of your power. Why oh why? One thing about any profession, the more engaged in it you are, the more dependent you become on certain things. The team, the calendar, your watch or other timekeeping device, the dad blasted iPhone, "smartness" surrounds you like a cushion, even the mighty must have their crutches, don't you know? My HootSuite (not yours, who cares about yours) is currently under repair (or the knife for all I know). All I know is, following one of the owl helpers over to Twitter is of no help.
"HootSuite's tube cleaning continues. Fixing issues as fast as possible folks. Please keep checking @HootSuite_Help for updates."
Nine minutes before a big client meeting, in need of account status and key Tweeted and shouted and posted and "pluses" and.... and you get the picture. Now it is eight minutes until and I am forced to login, cross my fingers, or explain how "it's the owls' fault!" Woe with me. Server overload? Isn't that like the gas station running out of gas? Woe with me. Hootsuite down for the count?

Why the Best Digital Marketing in 2026 Feels Human Again

For the better part of the last decade, digital marketing has been defined by one word: efficiency. Marketers optimized everything. Audiences were segmented into increasingly granular cohorts. Creative was tested, iterated, and refined at scale. Entire strategies were built around performance dashboards—click-through rates, conversion rates, cost per acquisition. It was a golden age of precision. And yet, something got lost along the way. Scroll through any social platform today and you’ll encounter a paradox: marketing has never been more targeted, yet it has never felt more invisible. Ads are technically excellent, but emotionally vacant. Campaigns perform, but they rarely linger. Brands reach people, but they struggle to move them. This is the defining tension of digital marketing in 2026.

The SAFE Banking Communications Playbook (Updated Q2 2026)

SAFE Banking has been "almost passing" for seven years. The communications stakes just got higher. Schedule III rescheduling raised institutional investor interest. The operators that build the right banking narrative now win citation share — whether SAFER passes or doesn't.

280E Repeal Communications: What MSOs Should Be Saying Right Now

280E has crushed cannabis P&Ls for fifteen years. The April 23 Schedule III order ended it — for some operators. The MSOs that communicate the partial repeal with discipline win the post-rescheduling citation graph. The rest don't.
