Jenn Floto and Christine Perkett join Shel Holtz for this week’s episode, which covered these stories…

  • Chatbots seem to dominate the panels at this hear’s South by Southwest tech conference, but marketers are already starting to abandon the bots they’ve created. Are bots over before they’ve really begun?
  • Advances in technology are raising the profile of earned media, which has taken a back seat to the paid and owned models.
  • A study finds that Facebook likes aren’t worth very much unless you pay for them. Are we really still measuring effectiveness with likes?
  • PRWeek argues that the CEO can no longer be divorced from the communications and culture of a company. To prove its point, they compared two CEOs: United’s Oscar Munoz and Uber’s Travis Kalanick.
  • Dan York reports on the upcoming ICANN meeting in Copenhagen and web inventor Tim Berners-Lee’s letter, “Three challenges for the web” on the web’s 28th birthday.
