    • I've been on that LinkedIn kick lately and jeez it is bullshit. It feels like a data farming site now rather than a job site. I need to network like mono said.capn_ron
    • Yeah, Linkedin always feels like a waste of time. Start a locally focused boutique agency. Offer long-term strategic marketing solutions and one-off tacticals..canoe
