At this B2B goes social I presented about Getting Real with B2B Communities and to be more exact about the pitfall of using vanity metrics instead of real actionable metrics. The main reason to do a talk about B2B communities and vanity metrics is because this was also a topic I did 2-3 years ago for B2C communities. Since B2B lacks 2-3 years behind B2C I found this topic rather applicable for reuse in a B2B context. The written voice over can be found over here: http://dontmindrick.com/socialmedia/vanity-metrics-measuring-wrong-thing/
