Facebook and Twitter have become amazing tools for Social Networking, whether it be for business or for fun. A few years ago a slew of these Social Networking sites popped up (MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, Flickr, etc..), most of which were designed by college aged kids giving them a way to stay in contact or connect and share via the web. Over time though, many of these sites have taken on new roles: that of professional networking.
LinkedIn is sort of the place to go for business networking, but it does not have as many users or as much reach as Facebook and Twitter. The only other site that has nearly as many users is Myspace.. and let’s face it, Myspace anymore is more for the music scene or the tweens looking to have their fun. The question is, how do you distinguish yourself on these sites as a professional and not as a Frat boy sharing his fun? it all comes down to how you represent yourself.
Take our fearless leader, Matt, for instance. His Facebook page is clean cut and straightforward. As is his twitter account. He does not post inappropriate pictures of himself and his messages are always geared towards business. These sites are designed for networking, so that is what you should be doing: Networking. You should be reaching out and friending/following people of similar interests and learning everything you can about them and how you can help each other in business… help each other reach the top.
