More evidence of the power of social media power was revealed in a recent study by Hotwire. The statistics revealed that an incredible four in ten (43%) of people bought financial services as a result of a recommendation via social networking compared to on 26% (clothing) and 26% (air flights).

So why are consumers increasingly looking to trusted friends on Twitter and Facebook for advice on financial products? Perhaps they trust their peers over the professionals, yet when buying clothing they are relatively happy to go with their own fashion judgement.
