Social Networking for business

The buzz these days is all about social networking and what it can do for our business. This relatively new phenomenon, and most people (including myself) are still trying to figure out what is going on and if the need to pay attention.

Social networks have been around for ages, but the social networking services such as Myspace, Facebook and Linkedin have taken this concept to the web. Because the web is the biggest network of all times, using it to build online connections with other people is a great fit. I believe that businesses should take this trend seriously, because in business it is still about connecting with people. If the people are online, businesses should be also.

I personally like Linkedin for the simple fact that its main focus is connecting professionals and business people. Nova Media's focus is B2B, so this is a perfect medium for me. It will take some time and effort to build your network but it will be well worth the effort.
