Social media is the newest networking tool for you and OSCPA
Social networking has quickly become one of the primary tools of communication in modern society. Students spend hours a week on Facebook, family and friends create blogs to keep in touch and new acquaintances meet through Twitter. |
The professional world is no exception to this trend as sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are becoming more widely used to extend one’s professional network or learn the “buzz” on today’s hot topics.
