In the business world, e-mail still trumps social media, according to a new survey. The People-OnTheGo survey shows business professionals spend an average of 3.27 hours a day on e-mail, compared with 1.18 hours on social media. Personal e-mail and corporate e-mail dominate, with 92% and 90% of professionals, respectively, checking them regularly – followed by Facebook (59%) and LinkedIn (48%). Workers spend more than half their working day (4.45 hours) on corporate and personal e-mail while also monitoring social media outlets. Other findings:
· 72% of the business professionals surveyed use social media for both work and personal reasons.
· Social media tools that trail Facebook and LinkedIn in popularity in the workplace include Twitter (23%), blogs (22%), and YouTube (11%).
· More than 67% said they regularly monitor multiple inboxes, and almost 66% reported interrupting their work constantly just to check those inboxes.
