Here’s our daily recap of what happened in online marketing today, as reported on MarTech and other places across the Web.

From Marketing Land:

  • MTV Uses Twitter Hack To Promote BET Experience
    Yesterday it was Burger King. Earlier today it was Jeep. And now it’s MTV. It’s a brand marketer’s nightmare – getting your Twitter account hacked.

  • Content: Six Reasons For Tool Disconnect
    Do you have what you need to “do” content? If you don’t, you’re hardly alone. We’re in the throes of conducting interviews with dozens of marketers at (mostly) Fortune 500 enterprises about how they are organizing, budgeting and resourcing for content marketing. Ironically, while technology has democratized the creation, production and dissemination of content in […]
  • Google Shopping: New Revenue Stream Or More Of The Same?
    The ad community loves free products, and if those products are effective at meeting goals, it’s only right to eventually pay for them. That was the thesis of my last column, which looked at the outcry over Google replacing organic shopping results with paid ad units. Now that marketers have concluded this is a worthwhile […]
