Internet Information Provider industry news provided by Financial News USA (OTC: FNWU). Tucows Inc., (AMEX: TCX) a leading provider of Internet services to web hosting companies and ISPs worldwide, announced recently the results of an industry survey conducted by its reseller services group OpenSRS at the HostingCon 2008 conference in Chicago last month. Survey findings revealed resellers of email and domain names are missing significant business opportunities to tap into social network users. Of the respondents, 60% have their own blog or personal website, and nearly three-fourths use social networks like Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter and FriendFeed to share information with friends and family. Despite the majority of people using social networking services, 81% of the respondents in the web hosting industry do not believe these "web 2.0" or functional-hosting businesses could hurt their business.
