Prickly? Did you not see the smiley?! :) I guess my fun tone didn't come through very well. My apologies.
I still don't see the relevance in campaign quality. and said so. My anecdote about ROI was relevant because people here still don't see the marketing aspects of Facebook. That anecdote was to show that usefulness. All they see is happy puppy and baby pictures and think the medium is too "personal" for any business related activities. I am quite happy to have a campaign quality discussion with you though if you'd like. What makes a good Facebook campaign and what doesn't. Which posts are likely to be read and which arent. And how to engage your "fans" versus turn them off. But I still believe that would be better served in a different thread. Geez louise you must be wonderful at brainstorming sessions too :) XOXOXO On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 11:32 AM, Medic <[email protected]> wrote: > > Why so prickly? > > The original topic was "I don't get Instagram being purchased for 1B > dollars."
