• 33% of business people were “unsure” how quickly their company was able to respond to a social media attack or inquiry
• When asked about their company’s business objective for participation in social media, 45% suggested “brand awareness” and 30% answered “sharing product/ service information.” Only 3% indicated “customer service” as a business objective.

“The Social Network” Who’s Going? (Tweetup)

“The Social Network” a bio-film about Facebook (co)founder Mark Zukerberg opens this Friday. I am not ashamed to say I am excited. Call me a geek if you feel the urge. I’ve always been interested in movies that involve money, big business, and lead character with a flaw worthy of a Greek tragedy. I get the feeling “The Social Network” will somehow combine “Wall Street”, “Boiler Room”, the meteoric rise of a Horatio Alger character, and every thing you love/hate about social networking.
