I’ve been seeing a lot of articles discussing the pros and cons of Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn in the business environment. Lance Whitney reported today in a cnet.com article that time spent social networking is up 83 perccent. Does your organization have Social Networking tools defined as part of your business strategy? Are your employees actively visiting Facebook? To what benefit is the employees Social Networking to your business?
I’ve recently enjoyed the company of extended family for a high school graduation. The kids could barely stop texting long enough to eat a meal. I haven’t really seen much texting activity in the business environment but am wondering how might texting translate into a business activity?
My target business audience has no specific vertical so I get to see a lot of different environments. I’ve noticed many 30 somethings in health care and financial services industries active on Facebook and wonder how HIPPA and/or PCI compliant their on-line network is?
Bottom line is social networking is here, in your business and you should be defining it’s use to your organizations benefit.
