Wondering how your business can take advantage of (or avoid using) mobile and social networking technology?
 
Here are two online resources that cover how technology is being used and who is using it, both via the iLibrarian blog.
 
First, the Pew Internet and American Life Project recently released its Mobile Difference report, which covers attitudes and behaviors about mobile Internet technology. Among the findings: 39% of Americans have positive and improving attitudes about their mobile communication devices (who doesn’t love their iPhone?).  Read the full report online, along with survey questions and responses. 
 
A Consumer Electronics Usage Survey from Accenture reveals that (surprise!) Baby Boomers are the fastest growing group of users of social networking sites. Read more about the difference between Boomers and Gen Y at Micro Persuasion.  
 
How about you? Are you or is your business jumping on the social networking bandwagon? Or are you hoping that Facebook will make like Pownce and disappear from the world wide web?

DylanV's Gravatar The Internet has made possible entirely new forms of social interaction, activities and organizing, thanks to its basic features such as widespread usability and access. Speed matters in net surfing. Getting a MiFi 2200 could prove a worthwhile investment. The MiFi 2200 is a portable wireless router, which you can use for any device which has the capability of wireless internet, be it a laptop, netbook, whatever. It's made by Verizon, the wireless phone provider, and it costs about as much as a small cash advance - $100 (after rebate), but there is a caveat: you must subscribe to the service to the tune of $40 a month. For that you get the rebate, and 250 MB of download. For another $20, (a $60 month subscription) you get 5 GB of download. (That isn't that much.) Still, it could be worth a payday loan or two for a MiFi 2200.
