Two Ladies Lead #Demand13
As one of my projects, Vocus asked me to program the Demand Success 2013 conference (6/20-21), their first marketing conference open to the general public.

The rain of negativity landed upon you.
I don’t care whether your post is right or wrong about the best age for community managers. The vitriol expressed by many of the dissenting voices in comments and responses was reprehensible.
Some have been measured in tone, but generally you received a crash course in negative commenting and personal attacks.
