Taking a step away from tradeshows for a moment, the big topic today seems to be about social networking.? We have sites like MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc that are all about networking and connecting with each other.? Through our own connections, we might be able to link two friends together to help in business or social.? I’m surprised Kevin Bacon’s name isn’t on the top of these sites to see how we can all be linked some how to him.? It’s an interesting concept but I wonder how many of us take advantage of it.? ?Then there are many other review sites: StumbleUpon, Digg, Trend Hunter, Viewpoints….all ways to get the word out about your website, product, service or business.?

I’m putting my company out there since I believe it can’t hurt.? Even if you get one lead, that lead might turn into another…. I am interested to hear about everyone’s experience with this new form of social networking.
