Layoffs in the Social Media Space

Jeremiah Owyang, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research in Social Computing charts the start of the US-based social media layoffs. By no coincidence it’s beginning in the UK too, so I hear. Then again, anecdotally speaking, it’s not all doom and gloom either.  My tech elder brother Andrew is flying down to London soon to raise venture capital for a new online tutoring venture for example.
