Quarterly Social Networking Poll
LinkedIn. Facebook. MySpace. Twitter. What are you on?
We recently asked more than 2,000 HR and business professionals the following questions . . .
Do you currently use a social networking tool?
- 68% said “Yes”
- 31% said “No”
- 1% said “What’s social networking?”
Which social networking tools do you use most?
Here are the responses:
- Facebook: 57%
- LinkedIn: 38%
- Twitter: 1%
- MySpace: 0%
- Other: 4%
Let’s break it down . . .
- The use of social media appears to be growing rapidly (perhaps in response to my annoyingly repetitive urges to “get connected”). This quarter, 68% said they use social media tools versus only 61% in Q2 — an 11% jump.
- Facebook remains the most popular tool. However, LinkedIn gained a bit this quarter, rising from 36% to 38% as the #1 tool while Facebook fell from 62% to 57%.
- Almost no one uses anything other than those two as their primary “go to” tool.
Thanks for your participation! Stay tuned for more on the latest trends affecting the wonderful world of workplace law.
