There are a lot of people out there who poo-poo social media. These are the same people who think that sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter are nothing more than an excuse to post pictures of yourself, brag to friends and stalk other people's profiles. Well, while some of this may be true, the good news is that the vast majority of it is not. In fact, there are many people (and an even more steadily growing number) who are discovering the value of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter and are beginning to see how it is helping (or can potentially help) their business.A while ago, I joined this social networking site called StumbleUpon. I quickly became obsessed. You see, Stumble Upon (SU) is a type of site in which people send each other pages that they have come across on the Internet that they have found interesting. For instance, I may have seen a funny video that I think others would find funny. I will 'bookmark' the site on SU and list it as one of my 'favorites'. Then, when other SU users stumble through my 'favorite' stumbles, they will see the pages that I found interesting. Of these pages, you have the choice as to whether or not you...more

Chances are good that by now most people have heard about Twitter. Whether from professional athletes and celebrities in magazines or on your local evening newscast, it is difficult to escape the phenomenon. Perhaps what has made Twitter so popular is its simplicity; Twitter requires far less effort than other social networking options, such as MySpace or Facebook. Whatever the reason, Twitter is currently being used by more than 1 million people every day to connect, socialize and stay informed. For those who aren't familiar, Twitter is an online social network that allows users to connect with friends, family and people with similar interests around the world. New users simply select a username or "handle" and provide a few pieces of information about themselves. From here, users simply provide short status updates in 140 characters or less (that's usually about 20-30 words). What is the purpose of these updates (or "tweets")? It can be anything, really.
