Social Network Analysis: making invisible work visible Everyone is talking about the enormous benefits to be had through collaborative working and better employee engagement. Industry analysts report a 25% improvement in organisational efficiency when companies successfully deploy a collaboration platform. Whether it’s social media or social collaboration, organisations are striving to deliver better value through a more connected workforce and closer engagement with customers and stakeholders. The term ‘social business’ nicely sums up this important development. The paradox is that organisations continue to allocate a significant proportion of their IT budgets on communications infrastructure and ‘social software’ and virtually nothing on systems and tools that can analyse how effective this investment is. While companies know that social networks are important, most managers don’t understand how these networks really work. Sometimes these initiatives have the desired effect, but the results are not always positive.

Social Media Spam Increased 355% in First Half of 2013 [STUDY] As email clients get better at detecting and filtering spam, spammers are moving to social networks, where they have better chances of going undetected. That's why, on a typical social media account, spam has risen 355% in the first half of 2013, according to a new study. Spam is spreading on social networks so much that 1 in 200 social media posts is spam, and 5% of all social media apps are spammy (meaning they promise a potentially useful service and then send spam updates instead). These are some of the numbers revealed by Nexgate's State of Social Media Spam Report (.PDF), which was released last week. The study analyzed 60 million pieces of content collected from Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube or LinkedIn over a period of two years from 2011 to 2013 and it seems to confirm what an independent study from Italian researchers already pointed out in late August — social spam is quickly becoming a booming business. The biggest strength of social spam is perhaps its reach.
