Volkswagen's reputation is in danger following the news the company falsified emissions data. Its YouGov BrandIndex score in the US has fallen to -2 from 10 to 11, and in Germany, it plummeted to -8 from its usual 18-to-22 range. Negative tweets about the brand skyrocketed to 16,070 between Sept. 18 and 21, in comparison to 766 negative tweets in the four days prior to Sept. 18, per Amobee Brand Intelligence.

Let's fix it.

Far fewer Instagram posts are published between 6 a.m. and noon than during the rest of the day, but viewing remains relatively constant during the course of the day, according to a Mavrck analysis of 1.3 million posts. That suggests marketers could get more traction by posting content during the morning, when there's less competition for eyeballs.

The technology also connects smartphones to the TV, allowing consumers to explore between the two and enabling marketers to integrate content across devices.

New dinosaur species found in Alaska
Researchers braved treacherous conditions in a remote part of Alaska to find an abundance of fossils of a species of duck-billed dinosaur that thrived in the area about 70 million years ago. Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis was an herbivore that resembled the Edmontosaurus, but analysis confirmed it was a new species that somehow adapted to the cold and dark conditions. "These were dinosaurs living at the very edge of what we think dinosaurs were physiologically capable of," said Patrick Druckenmiller, an author of a report on the find published in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.
