- An update on employee activism at Google, which has ended mandatory arbitration.
- MOOCs as content.
- Nike’s prospects in the wake of a highly-viewed product failure.
- A study finds that people are more likely to share longer content.
- Most brands wouldn’t be missed if they vanished.
- The marketing funnel is too linear. Say hello to the marketing flywheel.
- AMP pages increase organic search traffic.
- Most ad buyers are shrugging off YouTube’s crisis as just part of the new normal.
- Dan York reports on WordPress 5.1, Augmented Reality news, a Pokemon Go lawsuit, detoxing from your smartphone, and the Internet Society’s global report on the forces shaping our digital future.
Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
