Social media has become pervasive, and IT decision makers are increasingly using a variety of social platforms to share information and help them make purchase decisions.  UBM TechWeb’s latest research, Fall 2011 Social Media at Work Study, shows that more technology buyers are relying on social media for information about new products and brands, and to get advice on technology.
