"This also explains, by the way, not only why driving while talking on the phone is dangerous, it also explains why it isn’t dangerous to drive while talking to someone in the passenger seat.

There's some truth here, but there's also the unmistakable flavor of the whiny IT geek who doesn't think s/he should ever have to bother to understand business outside of their little IT world. - Angyl

I say this: Do Influentials matter? Yes. Are they worth spending a ridiculous amount to target if you're lacking in a decent product? No. Your brand signals need to be "out there" either way first before Influentials can tip. - Angyl
