Businesses, Start Social Networking
I've recently chatted with Jim Bert of Web Crossing and he told me all about how his site is set up to help businesses use social networking to advertise and enhance their business online. Set up your own social networking site and even add your own company's branding and link to your company's main Web site.

A business can make money using a social networking site by advertising their business on it, but that's not all. You can also set up a blog and write about what your company is doing and mention any specials you can offer or changes your company is making.

Ask for feedback from your customers. By doing this you may create a following of new and loyal customers. Run ideas though your community members to see what they think and get their opinions. Use your social networking site to keep in touch with clients so you can create better working relationships.
