If you're anything like me, you've let a bit of dust accumulate on your once proud and shiny LinkedIn account. Outdated information, neglected networks, a CV that could use some spiffing up?it's a classic case of LinkedIn lethargy.

Facebook has released some intersting stats on its Open Graph features for media partners, which include Yahoo! News, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Independent, and The Daily, that it announced at f8. We already know that Facebook is a major driver of news traffic with twice as many getting their news via Facebook than any of social network, but the amount of traffic it is drving on a daily basis is striking.

As the saying goes, the customer is always right, which is why marketers spend significant amounts of time and money investigating, through user groups and forums, what it is their customers want.

Aussies not on social media.....

Aussies really do prefer social email to sex and are completely addicted to it - social media that is not sex??according to a new survey. The survey revealed that some Australians will stop whatever it is they are doing - even sex - to respond to a Facebook update or a tweet. That's very sad.
