In other posts I have talked about businesses that have successfully used social networking sites to build their brand. We have looked at a neighborhood bike shop, amongst other businesses.
Law.com had an interesting article the other day about lawyers using MySpace.com to gain to new clients. Entertainment lawyer Leslie Warren Cross created a MySpace […]

Social Networking Talk at Cannes

I just returned home from the Cannes Film Festival and boy are my arms tired. (Sorry I always wanted to use that.)
While I was at Cannes in a business capacity other than dealing with social networking, there was still a ton of talk about social networking websites and how they are used. There were multiple […]

Tools: Flying the Coop

Recently mozilla announced their entry into the world of social networking, with the coop addition to the firefox browser. They have made a mock up available, and have talked about the development and the features here in their blog.

Windows Live Spaces, should we stop ignoring them?

When I talk about social networking the first sites that come out of my mouth are usually myspace, facebook, bebo, friendster, and tagworld.

Maybe I can finally ad Pat Robertson as a friend?

In my on going quest to join every social networking website on the planet and write about them, I have found a few new religious themed ones that were talked about in this yahoo! Canada article. As with most niche social networking websites, these sites aren’t going to help your business out unless these markets […]
