Some of the Social Networking Sites

While I am a firm believer in Social Media, I do not think that everyone should be using them. Nor would I think any less of you if the decision is made not to use any of them. But I do think a decision needs to be made one way or another and not just sit back and ignore them.

This post will list a few of the most common ones. There are many others. I use, to some degree, all of these. Along with the listings I will give my address so if you wish you can follow me.

Twitter
Twitter.com. is listed as “best way to share and discover what is happening right now”. Members have 140 characters to get their message out to their subscribers or, in the twittering world, followers. This site is on twitter at Twitter.com/SMBTechTips and I am on at Twitter.com/StevenGAtkinson.

Facebook
Facebook.com is a social networking website where users gathers friends. Once friends are added you can send them messages, share photos, and share a personal profile to notify friends about themselves. Additionally, users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region. Facebook pages are used by businesses and other organizations to share the same type of information. I am on facebook at Facebook.com/steven.atkinson.

LinkedIn
Linkedin.com is a business-oriented social networking site and is mainly used for professional networking. The site allows for a member to keep a list of business contacts, called connections. When a connection is made, it’s generally with a person that they know and trust. My Linkedin page is www.linkedin.com/in/sgatkinson

MySpace
MySpace.com may not be the oldest of the Social Networking sites, but it was for a time the biggest. Facebook has recently overtaken it to become number 1. Unless you are in the entertainment industry, it is not one that I would recommend for business. I have not used MySpace in over a year.
