Recently I wrote post about whether video marketing on Pinterest makes sense for B2B companies. While Pinterest can be a viable social media channel for B2Bs (particularly in regards to referral traffic), it’s clear that not all content is a great fit.

I recently came across a cool InformED article by Julie DeNeen that looks at the false impressions some folks still have about online and distance learning programs. The post breaks down 30 (yes, 30) eLearning myths that DeNeen writes “need to die in 2013.”
