Is Linkedin king in the business social networking world?
November 18, 2009 | 4 Comments
The two major social networks aimed at the professional community are Linkedin and Plaxo. Linkedin claims over 50 million users and Plaxo claims to host address books for over 40 million. While researching both Linkedin and Plaxo I came across a lot of content on how to use these better; you know the: complete your profile, network, join groups, brand yourself type of advice. Often the advice is good advice, but this what not what I was after. I wanted to get the low down on how to use these to do business.

Choosing between all those other Social Networks
November 11, 2009 | 6 Comments
My initial aim was to write a number of articles on various social mediums and I am continuing with that, however when it came to social networks there are so many out there that I decided to do one article about the ‘other’ ones. Looking at Wikipedia’s list of major active social networks, there are so many on there I have never heard of. Realistically, it would be impossible to be personally active on even 10% of those. Now if I had a nifty tool/platform that linked to all the different Social Networks with a single profile/account ID and allowed me to view my messages from them all in one place, filter discussions from them all, keep track of keywords on them all, share on them all, have an events calendar linked to them all and provided me with metrics on them all and do anything else I might want to do on them all — that would be cool.

What is all the Xing about?
November 5, 2009 | 1 Comment
I have noticed that a few people have mentioned Xing when they talk about their favoured basket of Social Media. I had never heard about Xing before, or if I had it never stood out and slapped me in the face. With so much information out there it is easy to miss the less than obvious. So I went in search of Xing.
