Funny story. I was working on some promotional material for our webinar on “What would happen if your turned off PPC advertising for a month?” and I figured that it would be a good idea to add a link onto the Enquiro Facebook Page.

Then the "it's not just for kids" viral thing happened and now everyone and their dog is on Facebook. Facebook is not just for kids. I was speaking with Enquiro CEO Gord Hotchkiss the other day and he mentioned that he receives more invites from industry professionals via Facebook than he does from LinkedIn.
