 | E-Scooters: On a Road to Nowhere As summer winds die down here's hoping one of the season's most ridiculous and unnecessary fads goes with them.

 | Nimble CEO Jon Ferrara: The Beauty of the CRM Beast "The reality of relationships is that people buy from people they like, know and trust," said Nimble CEO Jon Ferrara. "In the old days, before we ever engaged in selling, we made a connection by looking at books, things on the shelves, that kind of thing. Today, we're doing that more and more electronically.

Today's Story Highlights
The Thrill Is Gone for Many Facebook Users
American consumers' attitudes toward Facebook appear to be cooling, based on the results of a Pew Research Center survey. Forty-two percent
of the roughly 4,600 people who responded to the May poll said they had
taken a break of several weeks from checking the platform. "Facebook's
probably losing subscribers for a number of reasons," said Frost &
Sullivan's Michael Jude.

Google Cracks Down on Tech-Support Scams
Google has announced new steps to combat the placement of fraudulent tech support ads on its platform. The company will roll out a
verification program in the next few months to ensure that only
legitimate third-party tech support providers can place Google ads.

A Model-Based Structure May Be Ideal in a Data-Driven World
Data science has become mission-critical to many enterprises. Companies in the U.S. will spend billions on third-party audience data in 2018 and
even more on third-party solutions to use that data, as they move toward

then crunching it; companies have to map data against their business
model in order to get the most out of it.
