It's March 21, 2022. On this day in 2006, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sent the first tweet. The message: "just setting up my twttr." 15 years later, it would be sold as an NFT for over $2.9 million. ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 219 articles, 7 podcasts, 5 press releases, 196 tweets, and 6 YouTube videos 1. Porsche Announces All-Electric Macan SUV and 718 Sports Car Porsche is going all-in on electric vehicles, announcing all-electric versions of their popular Macan SUV and 718 sports car. The company didn't release any pricing info, but did say the Macan would be available "soon" and that the 718 would launch sometime in 2025. Better start saving for that deposit now. 2. Xbox Cloud Gaming Now Works With the Steam Deck Xbox Cloud Gaming can now play nice with Valve's Steam Deck, giving fans of both another way to take their games on the go. You'll need the Steam Deck version of Microsoft Edge to pull it off, and while it's only a beta version, it should be enough to make some Xbox Games Pass games more mobile. Enjoy! 3. Twitter Spaces Hosts Can Now Share 30-Second Audio Clips Twitter Spaces hosts hoping to share snippets of their recordings can now do so, as the platform tests the creation and sharing of 30-second audio clips. The feature is limited to select users right now, and it's only on iOS, but Android and web versions are supposed to come "soon." Yay, audio previews! 🦑 Go Deeper Netflix is looking into ways to have people pay to share their accounts with other households. Why? Charlie Sorrel thinks the motivation is fairly obvious: the company wants to grow and continue making money. 🎱 By the Numbers No heavy truck love? Data: Gartner It's no wonder Porsche is getting further into the EV business, just look at how many electric cars were shipped in January. Take the above chart as a sign that we'll all be driving electric vehicles soon. It's just a matter of which ones really speak to us. 🔥 Today's Hot Deal
