"SOME of the biggest brands in Australia have been revealed as poor users of social media such as Facebook and Twitter -- often creating a presence there, only to then leave them dormant. Research by public relations agency Burson Marsteller on Australia's top 20 brands indicates that many are bungling their approach to the emergent media channel of social networking."
