Ten years ago, you had people that sort of had some brains.
Today you have, "How do I set up a tube theme on Wordpress?"
And THAT is a rare example of something not retarded.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I don't bother with FB (I just don't care for any of the social networks). For the most part, the people we do the most business with are the same people we've been doing business with for years -- some close to a decade now.
For us, we do a little bit of business here, but by the time you wade through the nonsense and clutter, the lowballing, the hobbyists, the tire kickers, the endless regurgitation of SEO misinformation and pseudo metrics quoted as facts, the scammers, etc., it can be both time and cost consuming. In the end, the people you do the most business with are those with an actual budget or have already established themselves. That certainly may sound arrogant, and I understand it does. But the reality is it costs money to waste time nickel and diming.
I think most business, including business discussions involving any real dollar amount, are done away from GFY and in private conversations. I do more business on Skype in one month, from existing contacts and contacts referring their colleagues to me, than I do in an entire year on GFY.
