Today’s panel features DomainSkate COO Howard Greenstein, Scott Monty Strategies founder Scott Monty, and Trafalgar Communications principal Donna Papacosta, along with host Shel Holtz, exploring these topics:

  • Facebook’s Trending Topics kerfuffle, what it means for communicators, and the broader implications of trying to get a message across to people who live in the “filter bubble”
  • Instagram’s new logo, which (if you just read tweets in the first 24 hours) everybody hated
  • The state of domain fraud, how it’s like sexually transmitted diseases, and why it means IT and marketing need a closer relationship
  • The growing trend of publishing the same content across multiple sites (the “hub-and-spoke” model of content distribution)
  • Research shows influencers on Twitter, Vine, YouTube, and Instagram are trusted by consumers nearly as much as friends
  • A study demonstrates yet again that consumers want customer support via social media, but brands aren’t providing it
  • The media continues reporting on CEO scandals for years after the CEO has left. What does that mean for crisis planning?
  • Dan York reports on the growing mistrust of Internet privacy and security and the implications for e-commerce and other online activities.
