The Learning Industry is a billion dollar plus industry. As you already know there are hundreds of Learning Portals out there. This is why I decided to research how popular on social media these portals are?

Inspired by the blog post from trainingindustry.com "2012 Top 20 Learning Portal Companies" I made my research concerning The Top 20 Learning Portal Companies based on Social Media.

I ranked  The Top 20 Learning Portal Companies of  trainingindustry.com based on the people that follows them on their social networks and to be more specific on their Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin official accounts. (By the way I will very much appreciate if you follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin...)
