Further evidence of the near universal appeal of social media comes in the form of a new report from Neilsen, which shows Internet usage in April of this year. According to the report:
- Worldwide, 22% of all online time is spent social networking.
- Three quarters of all Internet users visit a social networking site when they log on (that’s 24% more than just last year).
- The average user is spending 66% more time on these sites than a year ago, which amounts to some six hours a month.
- Australians spend the most time networking, followed by Americans and Italians. Don’t ask me why.
With social media practically ubiquitous, the pressure will inevitably mount for similar functionality to be present in enterprise systems. Surely connecting with people to share information and solve problems is even more vital at work than it is when we get back home.
