It’s a shame for B-to-B vendors that Linkedin, which claims 26MM members who appear to be adults with jobs, and maybe even recommenders and decision makers “cannot, at present target any members outside the U.S., but may do so at a later date”

I’d be delighted to broker their Canadian lists on any viable basis. Facebook came up with 1050 Canadian, Anglophone, College Grads, with job titles including President/CEO, Owner and Manager. I’m going to test starting tomorrow, and I have a good feeling about broadening the profile.
