This week we discussed: 

  • How is it possible that a concert goes on sale and every ticket is sold out within minutes? Welcome to the world of bots, automation and technology. This issue reared its ugly head again this week, when fans who attempted to get tickets to Elton John‘s upcoming Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour noticed that the shows were sold out in a few minutes. What can be done? How is this even possible?
  • It was Super Bowl weekend… so, who won (besides the Eagles)? In my world, it’s not just about the teams on the field, but what happens in-between: the TV commercials (and how they extend online). Which brands ruled the mightiest of mighty in the ad industry’s biggest moment
  • Elon Musk does some wild and wacky stuff. It’s not just about commercial spaceships or electric cars. But now, Musk is selling a flamethrower for his Boring company? No joke. Plus, because it’s Musk, he sold 20,000 of them in short order at $500 a pop… that’s $10 million dollars. Not a bad day at the office! 
  • App of the Week: Google Flights can now predict your delays (before the airlines!).
