2. AmbITion as an example
• Blog - http://getambition.com
• Network using ‘Ning’ - http://getambition.ning.com
• Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/getambition
• Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/getambition
• Blip - http://getambition.blip.tv/
AmbITion has a presence online that covers a lot of different sites using
different content.
All these sites are worldwide communities of people.
Embedding is a form of sharing where you can put a particular video, audio
recording or an image on your website.
You can also make contacts, join groups or subscribe to other users on these
sites
that interest you.

4. Tagging and search terms
Tags provide an effective way of searching for content on social networks.
They can be used in a variety of ways to describe, locate and link items.
Descriptive tags can be applied to many items in social media. We will
illustrate an example of this on:
http://flickr.com
search “getambition”
You will see articles return that are tagged with “getambition”.

13. Vimeo
(a professional video website a bit like
Youtube)
http://vimeo.com/channels/taigh
Go to Vimeo and search for the term 'taigh'. Find a video. When you find
the result click on the video title. Hover over the video to see the ‘Embed’
option appear. Click then copy the embed code (looks like a load of non-
sensical text, known as ‘html’) of the video. Then, go back to your Ning profile page
and post your video by pasting the embed code into the 'My Videos' box. Tag, title
and add a description.
Save.
You'll see the video appear as an ‘embed’.
