Professional Networking Opportunities Rise in Social Networking

According to the newest Nielsen Company online social media study, the fastest growing segment in social networking media in 2008 was in the 35-49 year old demographic. Facebook, the dominant player in the global social networking media world added twice as many 50-64 year old users as they did users under 18 in 2008. This is an indicator that the user makeup of social networking media is changing.

This means that more businesspeople will be on Facebook, Twitter, and on blogs. This trend can open up Facebook to professional networking opportunities, in addition to the social aspects that the social networking sites have already established.
