What We’re Reading: Week of Feb. 8, 2021
This week: How to write a webinar script, a brief Google UX timeline, and this year’s crop of Super Bowl ads
Write the perfect webinar script with these tips
Webinars are a great tool for reaching and engaging with audiences around the world, but speaking in them can certainly be nerve-wracking. Preparing a script helps you deliver a useful, relevant webinar that prevents panellists from going off-topic. See some webinar best practices and an example script at Hubspot.com.
Google algorithm updates: A brief timeline
Google consistently updates how its search engine works over the years to prioritize user experience and search intent while discouraging low-quality content and spam. Do you remember what Google was like in 2011? We don’t, but this timeline is a great visualization of how the world’s biggest search engine has changed over the years.
Are Super Bowl ads becoming more out-of-touch?
If these Super Bowl ads have anything to teach us, it’s that we need just one more thing to be happy, whether it’s a new job, a refreshing low-calorie beer or the perfect website. This isn’t a new strategy: by filling you with optimism and enthusiasm, you’re (supposedly) more likely to chase that feeling and buy the product or service featured.
