Social Networking
I’ve been recently introduced to the Social Media World from studying Multi-Media at UBC. It’s been a real eye opener to find out that I’ve been out of touch with how to network now through Social Media.
Everyday, I blog, Twitter and use Facebook for networking.
It’s great and I feel so connected in sharing information.
Also, I was also pleasantly surprised to read that we as Canadians are rated tops in using Social Media.
Here’s an excerpt by Gillian Shaw, The Vancouver Sun, December 3, 2009.
“That’s the profile that comes out of a Forrester Research report released today that shows four out of five online Canadians use social media and almost 57 per cent participate in social networks at least once a month, making them the most active social networkers of any market regularly surveyed by Forrester.”
After reading Shaw’s article I’m happy to know about Social Media, and it’s not too late for you to learn this new way to network.
And did you know according to Shaw’s article, “Online Americans are the next most active social networkers behind Canadians at 51 per cent with the United Kingdom coming third at 38 per cent.
Facebook is the most popular social network in Canada, with almost 10 times as many weekly visitors as MySpace.”
