Abstract:
Given the popularity of LinkedIn, where the audience has more than doubled in the past year, and the fact that even Facebook has become a de facto business network, as more business people join, B2B marketers are reconsidering the social network environment.

As the number of business users of social networks increases, advertising expenditures will rise accordingly, reaching an estimated $210 million in 2012.

In addition, marketers will spend far more over the next few years to create and manage their own social networks for business customers, partners, suppliers and vendors.
