    “Repeat after me: It’s the SOCIAL that matters in social networks, not the network. On or offline, it’s the community that matters, not the structure. Even where there is no structure, community will emerge. Look at Twitter.

    The engagement is what matters. Not the form of the network. Tweeter, Blogs, Facebook, communities like Cafe Mom and BlogHer, Twitter, LinkedIn, “Old fashioned” forums and bulletin boards. These are all forms of social media engagement. The trick is to find the ones that matter. To you. To your business.”

    “Whether you attend events via Facebook and/or you host your own, this post and video may be of interest to you. I really think there is a fine art to using the Facebook Events feature effectively.

    When setting up the event, as an organizer, I highly recommend you leave all the default settings the way they are – that is, allow guests to invite others, upload photos, write on the wall, etc. The reason being is every one of these activities creates news items that go out into the feeds of those individuals and of their friends. This is great viral visibility for you and for them.”

    By now we all have Facebook. I realized this the other day when my aunt, my father’s older sister friend requested me. This was either a sign that it was time for me to leave Facebook all together, or that social networking sites have gotten so big that even the older generations are catching on, and quickly. I have realized that a simple Facebook page can be like an extension of who you are as a person. If you are a book, then a Facebook page is the front cover, the summary, and the illustrations.

    If you want people to read your book you better have some pretty good content in those areas. Here are some tips that I have found to be useful to optimize one’s Facebook. This can be useful for anyone who wants people to see them as a person with high value. Just like your websites, the key is content. Here are my tips to pimp out your Facebook profile. Stay tuned to an upcoming blog on how to optimize and get the most out of your Facebook Page”

    “Facebook is known as a social networking tool for young people. Even more so than MySpace (which has gained recognition in the business world because of its MySpace music channels and other marketing opportunities), Facebook is considered the playground for people who are looking to trade conversation and keep up with friends.

    As such, Facebook often gets overlooked by people in the business world who find it to be a waste of their time to gossip with their acquaintances about the latest going on in the world. But despite its use by youngsters as a place for gossip, Facebook can be a great tool for driving traffic to your own site and possible generating additional revenue for yourself.”
