Without question, when addressing job seekers or people navigating career transition about the virtues of LinkedIn visibility and positioning, someone will ask about the green banner that reads, “Open to Work.” Is it a good idea to add it to your profile photo? Does it help you get found and seen by recruiters? Does it scream of desperation? Many of us who teach about using LinkedIn have differing opinions on the banner, which was introduced by LinkedIn during the COVID pandemic to aid job seekers. Personally, I am not a fan. To me, the banner should not be needed to get a recruiter’s attention, might limit your networking possibilities (if those you seek to connect with worry that you’ll hit them up for leads and a job), and can feel distracting. My reasoning is this: Your personal brand and value proposition should be prominently displayed on and throughout LinkedIn. From your profile photo, About section and how you describe your experience and skills, to your network and the content you share, I should get a clear idea of who you are, what you can offer, and what you’re looking for. I should believe that what you say is true, that

In this episode of the Agent Factory , Smitha Kolan and Vlad Kolesnikov are joined by Brandon Hancock, a full-stack engineer and the creator behind the YouTube channel AI with Brandon , where he teaches AI concepts to over 80,000 developers. This was a very special recording, taking place just hours after Google released several major updates, including the new flagship model Gemini 3 , the Antigravity coding environment, and updates to the Gemini CLI .

It supports piping inputs and outputs, making it a powerful tool for chaining prompts and building lightweight "AI employees" without complex infrastructure. Building a Personal Portfolio with Gemini 3 Pro Timestamp: 01:18 Smitha kicked off the demos by using Google AI Studio and Gemini 3 Pro to build a personal website from scratch in minutes.

Former Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi has hit back at critics questioning his decision to join DCP, urging them to stop sending unsolicited messages. In a statement shared on Twitter, Havi said, “Please, do not spam my WhatsApp dm with advice or dissatisfaction with my choice to join DCP.” He questioned the timing of the criticism, asking, “Where have you been for the last 4 months since I resigned from UDA, to advise on what I should have done or not done?” Havi challenged those offering unsolicited opinions to test their own mandate at the ballot, saying, “Weka picha yako na jina lako kwa ballot if you think you are more knowledgeable on the matter.” The remarks underline the tensions that often follow party realignments and highlight Havi’s insistence that his decision to join DCP is final, while calling on critics to focus on their own political paths. On Wednesday, February 4, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), welcomed Havi into the party, describing him as a prominent legal expert whose experience could contribute to the party’s legislative work. Gachagua said the DCP values “great legal minds for legislation, representation and

Savannah Guthrie has a message for those who are suspected of abducting her mother, Nancy Guthrie: “We’re ready to talk.” The Today show co-host took to her Instagram on Wednesday evening, alongside her brother, Camron Guthrie, and sister, Annie Guthrie, to address the suspected kidnappers directly. Authorities have said Nancy was likely taken against her will in a “possible kidnapping or abduction,” and that her home was being treated as a crime scene. “Our mom is our heart and our home. She’s 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer,” Savannah said in an emotional video. “We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please. Reach out to us.” A ransom letter hasn’t been directly confirmed by

Snap’s latest financial results reveal the latest growth for its Snapchat app. It had 946 million monthly active users in Q4 2025, up 6% year-on-year – so 51 million more users. That means Snapchat is closing in on the milestone of 1bn monthly active users. Or is it? There were some less positive figures revealed in the financial results when it comes to daily active users. Snapchat averaged 474 million of those last quarter, which was up 5% year-on-year. However, it was actually a small dip from Q3, when it had 477 million, including declines in North America and Europe. That’s a trend to keep an eye on. But more positive metrics include Snap’s revenues ($1.72bn in Q4, up 10% year-on-year), while the company narrowed its net losses from $697.9m in 2024 as a whole to $460.5m in 2025. Snap’s investor letter has more, invariably-positive stats on how people are interacting with Snapchat. More than 700 million people have engaged with its GenAI-powered lenses over 17bn times, for example, while the number of people playing games in Snapchat every month has nearly doubled to 200 million.
