Social Networking for Small Businesses
Business Social Networking is a big topic. Kids have been on My Space for quite some time now, but these communities are booming into online centers of trade. The great thing about most social networking sites is that they are free!
Social Networks help you see the connections that exist between connections. For example I have a client who the other day referred me to his wife. I had bought something from his wife's store over a year ago and had not made the connection that they were married. With an online social network these connections are displayed. This video provides a quick and clear demonstration of this concept.
There are many social networks and they each have their own bend to them. LinkedIn provides business to business networking while Facebook is primarily social but is getting into the business realm.
