I am a big fan of Elizabeth Harrin (author of the forthcoming Customer-Centric Project Management) and she has been one of the leading lights on the topic of social media for project management. You can download her 2011 Social Media in a Project Environment Survey Results from her website - here are some of the key highlights:
- 20% more people are using blogs for business use than in 2010;
- Over 90% of respondents use social media tools to stay in touch with colleagues;
- A quarter of respondents use social media tools for managing project teams;
- Over 75% of respondents feel that social media tools can, or do currently, improve the way they manage projects, but this is down from 83% last year.

Jonathan, thanks for the mention of my social media survey. I am not sure if I will run it again in 2012. I’ve been writing and speaking for a number of years now about project management and I’d like to focus fully on my new research interests – namely, customer centric project management!
Best wishes for 2012.
