Today's Story Highlights

C-SPAN Resorts to Social Media to Cover Gun Control Sit-In
C-SPAN cameras in the U.S. House of Representatives were shut off
Wednesday morning during a sit-in over gun control legislation, but the
cable network soon began broadcasting social media streams from
legislators taking part in the event. House Democrats, led by Rep. John
Lewis, D-Ga., had refused to stop their protest, which demanded a vote
on gun control.

Instagram Blows Past Competition to 500M Mark
Instagram on Tuesday said it had passed a milestone, with its community
having grown to more than 500 million members -- more than 300 million
of them using the site on a daily basis. The Instagram community has
become more global, with more than 80 percent of Instagrammers living
outside the United States. Instagram's user base has more than doubled
in two years.

Rethinking the Customer Journey Map
If you talk to marketers for any amount of time about what they do, you
are bound to hear the term "customer journey" at some point. The go-to
exercise for marketers looking to up their lead generation games today
is "journey mapping," the exercise by which you try to understand how a
potential buyer navigates through content and other offers on the way to
a closed deal.

Microsoft Sees Fertile Ground in Cannabis Compliance
Microsoft has entered a partnership with Kind Financial to create an
entity that will obtain government contracts to track seed-to-sale
compliance in the legalized marijuana business. The new entity, Kind
Government Solutions, will provide state, county and local
municipalities with tracking information on marijuana sales to keep them
in compliance with government regulations.
