@amayfield Sorry - shouldn’t tweet and run. It was odd reading a blog post published this week about influencer marketing that didn’t make reference to the NYT Follower Factory piece. Felt like the elephant in the room/blog.

@EGStaceyM Well, my iPhone can do that. Well, apart from the times I’m on an long haul flight, have only downloaded the Sofia the First soundtrack.
