Hinweis der Redaktion
This is the important point – people are trusting what they see written by people they know, more than adverts or third party editorials or articles - this is the important for you to understand
These numbers are truly staggering ….however lets think about what we do with this informationHow many emails do you sign up for/ How many group discussion do you joinHow many things can you manage in one day…..and do a good job.Before anyone thinks that it might be better to ban certain social media sites in the workplaceForrester research/ Melbourne – it led to 9% less productivity when sites were banned.
