Didn't suggest you should. How would that be a good idea?

Didn't suggest there was, I'd recommend having B2B followers on a B2B board.

How many people were in Amsterdam? You know, those guys. The people in the industry. Getting them to follow you would be where I'd start. The people here, get them too.

But you need to make something interesting to get them to follow you.

Heh. Sure. I bet those 5 followers on your pinterest are really ramping up the ad impressions.

I am not suggesting you get porn surfers, but B2B users. Having the tiny amount that you have, and advertising that fact, makes it seem you're irrelevant to the industry and don't get social media.

I find it amusing you get *paid* to not get social media. So good we're both amusing each other

Ta ta.
