Jess all over it as a panelist and live tweeting

This, this! @PatrickECassidy nails it when he says it's not about what you care about; it's what your consumer cares about. #SportsConf

Content fatigue is a problem

Hamsters > Cats on StumbleUpon

Important for content creators: @vdlr says hamsters have replaced cats as the "it" animal on the interwebs. Plan accordingly. #SportsConf
