Apple getting social?
One of the biggest brands with little presence on any social network is Apple but that may be changing with the recent hire of Musa Tariq the former social media chief for Nike and Burberry.
Currently there isn't a Twitter or Facebook feed for Apple and its unclear whether Tariq addition will change the company's social strategy.
