Companies wonder what their employees are up to, are they spending time on social networks or are they playing Farmville in their office?
I went into an office where there was a similar incident happening, the employee was arguing with the IT head to open all the professional networking sites.
Social media has not only changed the way we communicate but also the way we live, the way we spend our time and also impacted huge on our lifestyles by making it more digital.
Coming back to the point of social networking in the professional field, Linkedin is one such name which has been growing at a phenomenal rate in India
If we take a look at some of the global statistics LinkedIn has over 101 million users worldwide with almost 59% as males and 41% females. (http://slidesha.re/gA3PYh)
The LinkedIn sign ups are growing at a astonishing 1 member per second.
With over 9.1 million users from India alone we are the second largest country from which the traffic is coming to this professional networking site.
