Does your employer allow / encourage / frown upon, social media use in your work place. I suppose the question is relevancy, will it effect your job performance or the companies profile?
With many employers hiring through LinkedIn, should employers encourage responsible use of social media in the work place?
Todays infographic, from the guys over at Pay Scale, looks at employers attitudes to Social Media.

To celebrate their 1 millionth ‘like’ on Facebook, Cadburys Chocolate decided to show their gratitude to their fans.
So thinking outside the box, They (or their creative agency) came up with a pretty clever idea. They built a huge chocolate thumbs up, of course. The genius of the idea was the 48 hour live feed of the construction through Facebook. They encouraged fans to engage, they reacted live to requests and even brought in a ‘super fan’ to place the final piece of the thumb.
The result was a social media dream:
Not only are the figures impressive, but they strengthened brand awareness and created a feel good factor around the brand. Check out the video of the construction. It’s awesome.
Todays infographic comes from the guys at TurkishJobs .
It shows some pretty big Facebook numbers for demo-graphs and brand pages. A little light reading for a Saturday morning.
Enjoy

OK, so the Facebook timeline gets a bad rep from a lot users but the majority of us have adapted. It works great, especially for brand pages.

Think of what would happen if Facebook and Pinterest had a kid?
The Pinview Facebook App allows users to manage their Facebook timeline like a Pinterest board. Sounds good right?
It displays items from your news feed, friend list and timeline on small panels similar to what Pinterest does when you “pin” something.
The new app has a lot of potential with developers looking to add an option that displays your favourite posts and comments.

Many people are ignorant to Facebook’s data collection, Many are extremely skeptical to the point of staying away from the Internet giant. But Facebook are loosening their grip on your data, well slightly.
Following some intense pressure in recent years, Facebook have allowed users to download some of the data they have on you since 2010. Yesterday, It was announced that users will soon be able to download information on past friends, IP addresses that have accessed their accounts and previous friend requests.
This may seem insignificant to some but It shows Facebook reacting to pressure from outside Menlo Park.
Grabbing your data will remain the same: Account Settings > Download Your Data > Start My Archive
It’s always nice to know what sort of data is out there about you and I for one welcome more transparency across social media. It’s a safe bet that Facebook still claim full ownership of your content. There can’t be too many complaints if you see your face splashed over billboards in the States. Clicking that little Agree button waives your arguments.
Wholesome Unorthodoxx Digital Advice – ALWAYS set your data setting to private. Only allow those you know access your profiles because you never know who is watching.
Happy Saturday 🙂
