[WATCH] Marketing Land Live #18: Apple’s WWDC news, MSFT buys LinkedIn, Facebook “all video” & more

Last week was a big one for marketing news, and that prompted a full hour’s worth of conversation and analysis in the latest episode of our weekly video show — and now a podcast, too — Marketing Land Live.

We began by discussing the news from Apple’s annual developers conference, including the potential impact on Google from Apple’s move to bring Siri search to the desktop. We also talked about the Microsoft-LinkedIn deal and what it might mean for digital advertisers. There were a couple rants during the show — one about a Facebook VP’s prediction that News Feed will be “probably all video” within five years, and the other about the confusion over how Google Autocomplete works and accusations that it’s been favoring U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

This episode runs just under an hour and features Marketing Land’s Ginny Marvin, Greg Sterling, Danny Sullivan and myself. You can watch the replay below, and be sure to scroll below the video for this week’s Show Notes, with links to the stories we talked about.

If you’d prefer an audio version of our weekly show, it’s now available as a podcast on both iTunes and Google Play Podcasts.
