    But I always see that social sites are just an interface to your personal site. This is my opinion.

    Good points, but beware that information and visuals captured on those social networking sites can be harmful to your brand at the same time. Make sure your project a positive and friendly image to your peers.

    Solid points that always need reiterating and exploring. Social networking has changed the online landscape for brands and also to a degree B2B networking. It will be intriguing to see how widgets shape both branding and social networking in the next six months.

    I am seeing several tools coming online for assisting users in managing their profile on multiple networks.

    Then you can tackle building profiles on small and large networks.

    Online Community sites will have a place as long as the internet has palace in society. People will always use social networking tools to find new friends keep in touch with current friends and express themselves. That is why we created a new Social Networking website sociallive.com.
