  • According to the stats, Twitter hosts the least literate users, with 0.56 percent of words misspelled (1 in 179), ahead of Google+ with 0.42 percent (1 in 238), and Facebook's 0.31 percent (1 in 323). Even forums attract better writers, with only 0.18 percent misspelled words (1 in 556). Even more embarrassingly, the U.S. commits "spellchecker sins" more commonly than the Brits, who carry an only slightly lower 0.53 percent deviation rate.

    PC Mag has to be one of my favorite magazines when it comes to technology. With a quick search I was able to come across this article that talks about Twitter. It goes into detail about how two marketing firms did research to determine that Twitter was the most illiterate social media site available.

  • Erick Sass has reported on two surveys concerning the negative impact social media can have on employment.  A 2013 survey found that 8% of individuals aged 16-24 had lost a job opportunity due to social media.  A 2012 survey reported that 40% of hiring managers consult social media when screening job applicants.  A third of the managers who consulted social media rejected an applicant based on what they found.  Yet, “70% of those [young people] surveyed said they weren’t concerned about social media harming their future career prospects.”

    This article on a humanities I came across on google talks about a survey conducted with managers about hiring and using social media as a source of information. Working at Microsoft, I am careful what I post on social media. This is because I am a representative of the company. What I say on social media can be represented as an official statement.
