Tax network page for tax professionals on Facebook

Facebook is clearly the No.1 place for social media interaction, with 500m users globally and something approaching 25m users in the UK, depending on which research statistics you rely on. The key forum is that of socialising informally with friends on all subjects to do with your life, however to what extent is it used for business or career networking? I think currently it is used for this on a limited basis because people are keeping their life social networking separate from their work social networking, which they would tend to do on platforms such as LinkedIn.

But will this change, and will people tap more into the potential of Facebook for business purposes and for career networking?

In relation to this, a new Facebook page has been recently set up by Talentpool for tax professionals. The page is Working in Tax - Your View, and it is for tax professionals to view and comment on all issues relating to working in tax. Will be interesting to see if it gathers momentum. Please go to the Page and 'Like' it.
