Social Networking: Where Virtual and Real Worlds Collide

Communities Key to Engaging Clients and Prospects

3 Types of Communities That Can Grow Your Business

Why You Need to Use Twitter to Grow Your Business

Social networking updates, especially on Twitter, can get fast and furious. But if you think the quick musings of others are meaningless, you're missing the point. The truth is, if you are not using social networking as a springboard to build relationships with others, you're going to be left behind.

Most of us don't want to miss out on all that social networking has to offer. Yet many of my Facebook friends and the like fail to notice one important element: the magic of bringing those relationships to other social networking sites, and better still, offline and into the real world.

The savvy social networkers I know use online tools to create abundance in their professional and personal lives, discovering resources and opportunities they may not have discovered otherwise. They meet like-minded people through chats on Twitter and take those introductions a step further by forming groups on LinkedIn, where they can carry on in-depth conversations. They meet professionals who live nearby and share similar professional goals and regularly get together in either one-on-one or group settings.
