Notas do Editor
- Show of hands: - Those actively marketing online. - Those using a website to market themselves.
- Social Networking is not a new idea, it has existed forever and we have always used our social networks to find things such as jobs, new friends and even new partners. In a normal friend network you might know Paul, John and Sally however most of the connections in your social network are hidden because your network is only as good as the connections that you can see. Online social networking sites solve these problems by allowing you to add friends, as you add friends you are allowed to see their friends which starts to open up hidden opportunities for creating new relationships.
- Facebook is a social networking service that lets you connect with friends, co-workers, and others who share similar interests or who have common backgrounds. Many use it as a way to stay in touch after finishing school, or as a way to share their life publicly. What makes Facebook different from other social networks are its extensive privacy controls, its development platform, and its large and quickly growing user base. Facebook has been called the \"thinking person's\" social network.

- - YellowPages-style directories will go away. They’re (1) expensive, (2) information is outdated, (3) slow and (4) you can’t keep one in your pocket. Presence in social media allows them to find you when necessary. - More than location, product/service offerings. They expect to *do business* online. - Websites, email, social networks do not know geographic or time boundaries. - Broadcasting (Yellow Pages, direct mail, billboards) => narrowcasting (online advertisements). Lower cost and higher ROI.
