The Interpret report, based on a survey of 9,200 Internet users, found Twitter users are twice as likely to review or rate products online (24% vs.

iZoca is a new social network which focusses on event management and helping organisations to communicate better. I was first alerted to the service after reading about it on Sociable Blog , but it wasn’t until Susan Bardack from iZoca got in touch that my interest was perked. iZoca has so far raised over $600,000 in funding, which has largely gone on developing the network itself. Within iZoca the focus is on a section called ‘My World’ which contains your monthly calendar, your weekly agenda and upcoming events which you may be attending.

This is the fourth major financial downturn I have worked through (thankfully we are starting to see some confidence coming into the market again). These downturns came about for different reasons but the consequences in the media industry are similar – reduced advertising spend and publishing businesses (of all types and sizes) finding it more difficult to reach budgets and achieve year on year revenue growth.

After we’ve read all the advice, listened to the Job Fair lectures, and heard what our friends and co-workers tell us, it is still terribly difficult to go out and do things that are really uncomfortable.
