Recently I gave a speech to over 500 human resource professionals on the use of social media in the workplace. I started the speech by asking how many of the attendees had an account for LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Overwhelmingly the majority of the audience indicated they had both Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. Less than […]
