Hi lawmacs,
Good article on social networking. I use most of the large social networks for both personal and business. I have found that sites such as FaceBook and Twitter can be utilized as great marketing resources but you do need to start off slowly and build relationships with your followers before doing any marketing.
To your success!
A very interesting article Gary 🙂 . As bloggers these social networking sites are very useful to us. But it sad that some organizations believe that it decreases the productivity of their employees and the use of these networking sites , especially Facebook is banned.
I hope that they realise their mistake and start using social networking sites for their benefits.
I am a facebook fan myself, I have met a lot of great bloggers and have acquired many readers from facebook.
I have not tried Beebo perhaps I should, I have not had much luck meeting people on Myspace at least not blogger and people to network with.
Thanks for the great post!

Great advice Gary. Social Networking is really the way to connect with people who have similar interests. I like it.
I am also a fan of social networking. Twitter, facebook, blogcatalog and any other sites where you can advertise your blog posts. Twitter mostly because with twitter and twitterfeed I can setup to send a blog post to twitter and than send it out to every single social network I am a member of.
Social networking can be a source of traffic and source of back link. Put your url on your profiles and hope someone come from there 🙂

Working online, I used to bookmark/ my web sites to social networking sites. The results I gained are remarkably overwhelming as many people visit almost all of my web sites. I am indebted to these social networking sites, so it’s high time I guess to bring back the praises to those who make blogs about social networking sites as you do. Thanks!
