MySpace followed third, being used by 29 percent of businesses, while 19 percent of respondents blog and 17 percent produce and distribute video content via Youtube.
Virgin Media Business also discovered that the U.K.'s biggest banks are missing out on thousands of opportunities a month to connect with their customers online.
