I'm amazed by how many social sites are out there, and it doesn't look like the list is going to stop growing anytime soon! Thank you for the congrats! And I do hope you'll join the next GCN (I'm probably going to give it about a month off - get some time for more people to get the book, etc. I also don't want to risk being too repetitive on the blog, LOL) @Bryan - That's great to hear how well your experiment went. And wow on being slammed w/ work after only 1 weekend using social media! I admit, I'd like to know what your secret is, LOL! @Lorna - Thanks for posting all your links! I just connected with you on a few new ones. :) For LinkedIn - when you are on the Edit Profile screen, click "Edit Public Profile Settings" at the top. On the next page also near the top you'll see "Your Public Profile URL" For anyone new to LinkedIn - by default this is something fairly random if I remember correctly. There's an edit button next to this where you can change it to something more usable, such as "first initial / last name" for example. @JeffB - Not sure if I categorized that correctly. I didn't mean blogging sites as far as wordpress.com or blogger, etc... I listed Technorati and MyBlogLog, etc under blogging just because they deal with blogs - getting your blog ranked, getting stats on your blog, etc. I think Friendfeed is considered Life Streaming. Not sure what you'd categorize Myspace and Facebook, etc under. As you say - all very confusing, LOL! Thanks on the post, though - I'm glad you like it! @Lisa – It is overwhelming, isn’t it?

I see you listed mybloglog and technorati as a blogging sites, not sure why? I wonder where Friendfeed, Myspace and Facebook fall. All so confusing and I use all of them. You know my Mom told me to always know what your getting into before diving in. Well that is not the case with all these you have listed. Great post none the less. Admiral70 on all social sites.

Here's what I've got: LiveJournal: http://o-my-goodness.livejournal.com WordPress: http://www.sparkplugging.com/freelance-parent MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/dornaloone Twitter: berrybrewer LinkedIn: hell, I can't even figure out how that works well enough to give you the url StumbleUpon: um, dornaloone, I think - again, I just don't understand it enough Flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/lornadoone/ MyBlogLog: http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/lornadoone/ There are some others, but I generally only use LJ, WP and Twitter, plus my email, of course.

I began an experiment with some light social networking last weekend, and here it is the following weekend and I am SLAMMED with new work! Though social networking can seem like passive marketing, it's all about the brand, and building your brand is as active as it gets. I agree, and thanks for the additional posts.
