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:

  • Facebook’s Promoted Posts Rolling Out, Here’s What It Looks Like

    Facebook has begun rolling out Promoted Posts, a new tool that lets Page owners spend money to show status updates to more fans.

It’s therefore critical to go beyond the click and […]

  • As Doubts About Facebook Continue To Rise, Some Marketers Defend Advertising Opportunities

    Most analyses of General Motors’ pulling of its $10 million Facebook ad spend last week focused on the shortcomings of the social network — the ads aren’t immersive and engaging, the tracking isn’t what it should be. Perhaps that’s understandable in a week when the world’s critical eyes were on the 8-year-old company that was […]
