Most of us, who are alive and breathing, are constantly surrounded by social networking. We have websites that help us track our friends, community events, and allow us to tell the world what we're doing minute by minute ("just cooked breakfast" "just ate breakfast" etc etc). To compound the confusion, society also equates the notion of "social" as non-business. We have our social lives and we have our professional lives. By these definitions, Social Networking is getting less social by the day. Real companies are spending and generating real money by using websites and technology that was developed for non-business purposes.
Mass High Tech just published an article about a company called Pistachio Consulting. Pistachio is a "Twitter-for-Business" consultancy and helps businesses leverage social media. The following is a link to the article:

Happy Reading.

Government insight on Job Recovery
Posted by: Jason Alexander
On a daily (often hourly) basis I'm asked about the economy and how the job market is shaping up. Over the last 60 days, or s0, my response mirrors something to the effect that jobs are picking up, things are moving in the right direction (albeit slowly but surely), and job seekers still need to keep their skills sharp in an effort to compete with the rest of the market. Although things are going far better than they were 6 months ago, job growth seems to be slow and steady.
I wanted to bring attention to, with non-partisan intention, a CNN.com article where President Obama speculates on a number of critical national issues including healthcare, Afganistan, and yes, Job Growth. I don't call the news good or bad. It just draws attention to the realities of today's economic status.
