Today's Story Highlights

LinkedIn Launches Streaming Video Service as Private Beta
LinkedIn has launched an invitation-only private beta of LinkedIn Live,
a streaming video feature. The service initially will be available in
the United States. After the invitation-only period, LinkedIn will post
a contact form on its website for others who want to participate in the
beta. The company will broadcast live content from conferences, product
announcements, Q&As, and other events.

4 Surefire Ways to Get E-Shoppers to Pay Attention
I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to find and attract
customers online. With millions and millions of businesses all vying for
attention, the Internet has quickly turned into a very crowded place.
But, believe it or not, there's opportunity in all that clutter, and if
you approach your marketing and visibility right, you can easily rise to
the top.

Spreading CRM's Message
I've recently been writing a lot about platforms -- not about any one in
particular, but about the importance of platform to the future of what
we all do in CRM and beyond. Platform provides a level of abstraction
between machines and humans. Inventing the platform was like inventing
the power loom or the printing press. It was a way to separate the
creative effort from rote production.

5G Is Key to T-Mobile, Sprint Merger
Over the last several quarters, I have heard opinions of the pending T-
Mobile, Sprint merger from every corner. Those who are pro-merger focus
on all the benefits it woud bring. Those who are anti-merger focus on
what would be lost and how it would harm different segments. Amid the
chaotic debate, what really matters is whether the regulators are going
to say yes or no.

OceanX and the E-Commerce Subscription Wave
Becoming a subscription provider used to be a big and expensive task. To
get into the game, a vendor needed to build a subscription business
model right next to its traditional businesses, which typically involved
building an e-commerce Web store and member site, organizing an online
price list and catalog, and figuring out how to handle subscription
business receipts, shipping and returns.

Will the Sharing Economy Kill Personal Ownership?
The social networking era brought about a sharing economy. We share not
only our lives, but also everything from cars to clothes to chickens,
yes chickens. Services like Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era,
and industries rapidly have been embracing the change to determine how
to benefit from the shift in terms of future revenue. So, will we buy
things in the future?
