Google Gary Illyes Now Uses An iPhone

You probably have all noticed that I have not been mentioning the name Gary Illyes from Google as often as I use to. That is because he is way less active on Twitter these days. He actually said it himself on Twitter, he wrote "I'm not checking Twitter nowadays."

Of course he does post things there every now and then and responds every now and then but overall he is way less active. Mark Traphagen tweeted about it:

Gary called it "lies" as a joke and then John Mueller came in with an excellent response:

So if you want responses from Google on Twitter at the moment, stick with John Mueller or Danny Sullivan.

It feels like when Kylie Jenner blasted Snapchat. :)
