Popular Social Networking Sites – Facebook
When you’re looking at sites specifically designed for social networking, remember that Facebook is one of the most popular options. Facebook is different from MySpace in that you can view complete profiles of only the people who are in your network, which means that Facebook is better for targeted networking and protected from spam. Although Facebook was originally created for college students, it has grown to become a popular social networking tool for people from around the world and from all walks of life, regardless of age or organization.
Here are some ways you can use Facebook to drive readers to your blog:
✓ Add your blog’s feed to your Facebook profile.
✓ Post personal notes and updates to keep people within your network apprised of what you’re working on and news you want to share. For example, if you just wrote an excellent blog post that you think is worthy of other bloggers linking to, you can send a message or publish an update about it on your Facebook profile to spread the word.
✓ Use the Facebook Groups function to create a group for just about anything you want and invite people to join it. Then you can send messages, share information, and converse with the members of that group.
To join Facebook, simply complete the signup form on the right side of the Facebook home page and click the Sign Up button, shown below. Make sure that you take the time to create a comprehensive profile and start making friends!
