Which browser is best? Chrome or Internet Explorer?

I have never seen Chrome (or FireFox) in use in the workplace, where many people use the internet the most.  Now that Internet Explorer is used by less than 50% it makes you wonder whether most people use IE at work and something else at home.
I use Chrome at home for the speed.  The predictive searching saves seconds here and seconds there which all add up.  It's surprising how resistant to technological change many organisations are.

Why it's time for business to get social

This is another person's view from the media event at the University of Brighton that I wrote a few days ago.  This writer comes from an HR background and so has a different perspective and some further interesting thoughts.

Social media for job searching

Useful report about use of social media for job hunting in US (interesting because I don't think UK is far behind).  The opening stats are not well written but I think they mean:

  • 84% of job seekers have Facebook and of them, 2/3rds use it to look for work.
  • 35% of job seekers are on LinkedIn and almost 100% of them use LinkedIn to look for work.
Most interesting, one in 6 of the sample had found a job in 2011 using social networking (although the sample was from a recruiting software platform so will be skewed towards computer literates).
