Small businesses in the UK tend to use IT outsourcing rather than hire their own IT people, according to a survey by online freelance company PeoplePerHour.com. With more than 60 percent of respondents planning to increase their IT and web development budgets, companies plan to use outsourced freelancers to boost their standing and generate revenue over the internet.

On the Internet, there are numerous sites and ways for people of similar interests or backgrounds to connect, share ideas, and interact. Social networking sites and social media are among the latest developments, but one of the longest running is the concept of the Internet forum. Forums are an interesting area for a company to expand its IT outsourcing and online marketing efforts.
