What was it? Did it affect me? What needed to change? I spent hours trying to understand everything that was happening, and piece together how these changes would impact my marketing, the marketing of our customers, and even how it would change how companies like Google and Omniture did business abroad. I gave up on searching for answers and instead put together a big list of questions for Marketo’s deliverability and privacy director. His answers were awesome, helping me understand what was going on and what changes I needed to make.
