IT adds 25,000-plus jobs so far in 2010

Is it renewed optimism?

IT employment grew by 0.37 percent, or 14,000 jobs, in February, one of the strongest month-to-month gains since 2008, according to the TechServe Alliance, an IT services industry group that analyzes U.S. Labor Department unemployment data.

Unlike Facebook, we're still not sure if this is a real technology platform being developed, or another internet fad (remember ICQ?)...but the last year has brought an explosion in user traffic - monthly minutes of use grew 37-fold from April 2008 through May 2009 - and a growing role in disseminating news and organizing social and protest movements, from the streets of Tehran to a swimming pool in Huntingdon Valley (Philly.com)....
