Generating B2B Leads on Facebook

I am always amused when people talk about the value of Facebook in B2B and that it can’t generate leads. I think it just comes down to marketing professionals not knowing how to leverage the network in a way that can yield results. Facebook’s site says they have one billion monthly active users as of October 2012.

Is social media the new McCarthyism?

I always find it funny when someone who has never met me attempts to say they “know me.” How? There are many me’s to know. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know me as a gluttonous alcoholic. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know me as a napping, rage-filled narcissist.
