Social Media - What's it all about?

Love it or hate it, there's no doubt that Social Media is here to stay. Facebook now has over 400 million active users and the number of celebrities using Twitter means that it is rarely out of the spotlight.

It's already making a huge difference to the way people use the web. As a result, businesses are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunity to reach new audiences.

The big question is - how should a business make the best use of social media?

The Best Tablet PC

As you're probably already aware, this week saw the launch of Apple's first stab at a tablet form-factor device with the iPad.

From what I can see (without ever actually having seen one), it looks like a pretty neat gadget. I'm not sure it could ever live up to the hype, and I'm not sure Steve Jobs' claims of having invented a whole new platform are entirely justified. But - I can imagine seeing one kicking around my living room as a handy way of browsing the web in front of the television.

What the iPad, and every Windows based Tablet to date, have so far failed to do is adequately capture the needs of the business user. I appreciate that Apple are clearly not targeting this market, but Microsoft have been since at least 2001.
