Forrester analyst on social media

Unfortunatly my Amsterdam lunch with Raffaele from Forrester is cancelled for tomorrow. Our lunch topic would be social media and executive search. I am lucky his colleague Jeremiah posted an excellent topic on his blog

Here is a quote: “Immigrants vs Natives, guess who wins? This next generation of digital immigrants are using the the web and other digital channels to communicate, update each other, and talk (Forrester’s 2007 stats indicates nearly two-thirds of teens access a social network at least once a month) and nearly 1/3 of adults access social networks a month. This doesn’t include other tools, just social networks. The truth is, this next generation of natives will enter the workforce with connections to employees, customers, prospects, partners, and even competitors, firms must be ready. “
