This is bullshit! Now you know, social networking helps facebook to know what exactly interests you and then sell you that stuff. People shining the seats while building their social networks are adding weight. Instead of finding out how this nonsense helps (which it doenst) get off your ass and walk! (the good old fashioned walk) that cleans up your arteries.

Social networks are an amazing addition to an already over-stuffed Internet with way too many sites that clog the tubes. What these social sites bring to the community is engagement on a number of levels, creativity and the ability to share and communicate with like-minded individuals.

@Top Rated I have been wondering about the amount of time needed to devote to social marketing, how much to blogging, etc. Can some of that be outsourced? With my busy schedule I don’t know if I can devote the needed amount of time for it to be the most productive.

We’ve actually picked up some pretty nice work from social networking because people are often finding it easier to just float work to their networks.

With so many social networking sites breaking onto the scene doesn’t it make life easy to popularize your blog.

Cant say I ever really caught the social networking boat. I know that LinkedIn is pretty popular. Seems unecessary to me

I wish there was a way to maintain multiple personas on the major social networking sites. I want one for friends, and one for business contacts in each of my business verticals so I can make sure that my interactions/posts are relevant. But almost all of the major sites limit you to only one account. Shame.

I agree with some of what you say, but I’m always careful about absolutes. Like your statement, “The days of anonymous marketing and communication are dead.” Not so fast. Traditional marketing methods, such as TV, radio, direct marketing, etc. are still in heavy use and are effective. Even the Web didn’t replace existing communication tools. Take the latest round of Apple ads — they’re doing a great job of reminding people what is great about a Mac. I consider social media just another element of the marketing mix. And what’s so important about identifying the communicator behind the product if you’re just selling toothpaste?

Social networking is really able to assist in increasing the traffic to one’s website and blog. It is the very tool with the help of which one can make one’s reputation among those who are doing online business.

I’ve used online social networks to continue to enhance our firm’s brand. I’ve even starting finding new clients through online business social networking sites (like LinkedIn).

This is unusual for a CPA firm, and we are still testing it’s viability. We may be rolling out other “virtual digital” offices through out the country and staff them with work-at-home-moms (with no actual brick and mortar office locations). This will happen over the next 5 to 10 years, and it’s still to be seen if its a viable business model.

We’ll see.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

I’ve always been interested in how the hiring process for social networking works. Do you judge them by whether they’ve made something popular on Digg, gotten hundreds of thumbs-up on StumbleUpon, gathered followers on Twitter…?

For those who are interested, a classic success story of personal branding through all possible media including the social networks is that of Tyra Banks. Just google her and see what happens!

I just started testing out a new theory. Many of these sites (like Digg) allow you to add several links back to your site from your profile, using your own anchor text. I have a test account with several outbound links and am doing nothing but commenting on High PR threads. We’ll see how/if it works.

I had a funny meeting last month.
It was called “speed meeting”. Businesspeople meeting like at a “speed dating” with 1 minute time for each person to get the message through. Then changing of business-cards and of partners.
Very funny.

The advantage of using social networks cannot be underlined enough. But the sheer number of social sites cropping up everywhere these days can make it quite overwhelming.

Yes I agree that social networking is really important to build reputation in online business. Just like when you build communication with colleagues in other kind of business.

Blogging does seem to be a better ROI then the whole social networking thing. Unless maybe there’s a tipping point somewhere for the A-listers that make it worthwhile. I just haven’t gotten there yet.
