B2Bnn is back with another recap of what kept the B2B social world buzzing this week. As always, we partnered with Nexalogy to help sift through the social data and find the most relevant posts and stories to keep you ahead of the curve.

This week, we found some important research about the use of marketing automation, found some key areas where B2B businesses are lacking information about prospects and customers, and 10 things that the best B2B websites are doing right.

Marketing Automation
