Social Media - time to make your mark?

Social media really is a buzz word for technology at the moment and for anyone interested in an IT career research is key and that is exactly what I have been doing so, I thought (over the next few weeks) I would share some of my findings with you.

Whether it is looking at how social media can help businesses, how cyber crime will be targeting social network sites or how mobile web can be incorporated into this growing industry, there is plenty of opportunity in this fast growing market.

Reagus give a regional picture, showing that almost half (49%) of firms in Manchester are successfully winning new customers through social networking activity, while 55% are using it to engage with existing customers.

Then Prodkauer's International Labor and Employment Group, which looked at companies around the world, announced that over three-quarters are using social networking.

Give it a little thought - do a little research and tell us what sites you think were favoured by businesses.
