Article: Facebook Most Widely Used Network
Among Businesses 83% of businesses have a Facebook profile The majority of the online population, technology and especially “social media” has led to more diverse networks than we’ve ever had before.
As we all know participate in social networking services such as Facebook which is a very well known and widely used social networking site, we could interact with people from different backgrounds, different races, different political parties all over the world. While that is not the only thing we can do, this network tool also enable us to promote our business, advertising our company or even self-promotion, ect.
According to a new study by “Business.com”, Webinars and Podcasts are the most popular social media resources for business people as many people used turn to such channels for business information.
However, today people are using Facebook as the primary social network on which consumer-focused companies maintain one or more profiles to provide information and share among themselves. The percentage of respondents is even much higher than of Twitter. The Business-to-Business companies also maintain a presence of profile on both social sites of Facebook and Twitter and the percentage of using these social networking site for business information also increase tremendously. All this shows that Facebook has now become the new widely used and popular social media resources, it provides more than what we usualy expect and opens another door for the market as well as the companys to enroll their staff in a more effective way and efficient way to get things done.
This figure shows the consultants and marketers are the most active users of social media as a resource for
business information, as which proves there is a great demand in the bussiness market and there is still potential to be progressed and improved on in the future.

Overall, in my opinion, to promote the business in making use of the social network media is a new trend which many of us could benefit from. Not only could easly get the latest updated information but also we share it among other participants whoever interested. Doing business is just like making friends, we could understand the company’s situation by background by studying their profiles. We are actually making money and socialize at the same time! Advertising our business through Facebook also increase the popularity of our product as it provide us with a platform whereby our product could be seen and commanded by people all over the whole world. How amazing it is! It seems like all of us including the business people, are finding value in social media.
