if you’re talking to consumers, Monday and Wednesday are best on Twitter, and LinkedIn is better on Monday. But if your company is marketing to other businesses, post to LinkedIn on Sunday, and to Twitter on Wednesday. And while hashtags are great for consumer-focused posts, they really don’t work at all for B2B marketers.

Fringe Fringe Fringe Fringe Fringe Fringe Fringe

Yes, it's true. I can never shut up about the Orlando Fringe. Fringe is what BarCamp will be in 50 years, becuase they have the same humble beginnings.

What do you hope to get out of Doterati?

We have affordable bandwidth and office space. We have a strong creative community in part from our proximity to Universal and Disney.
