I had both, but myspace kept getting spammed and I was getting friend requests from pornstars.... so I deleted it, but I still have a facebook.

ok and this is weird....when i clicked the above link...it took me to my home page?
I did a search on face book just using the word "signs". Of the pages I looked at, Dan Antonelli's page had the most fans at 56. I have a whopping 11...So I dont think as far as marketing goes...to do a fan or company page is worth it. I think if I am going to use this for business I need to bring my personel info to a more professional level and promote the business thru me.

I’m on LinkedIn but as a member of the “Right Wing Conspiracy” I find it safe to stick with the sign boards. I don’t need another “check mark” next to my name. I’m sure I have plenty. Looking at face book I now know what a bunch of you look like.

To stay in touch with my kids:
myspace.com/jimdoggett

To gain search engine ranking/relevancy and build a customer support community:

MySpace, Facebook, Google Friend Connect, Skype, Get Satisfaction, Blogspot and Add This. (Twitter, too. But it's junk from a business standpoint ... moved to Blogspot, a way better biz platformm)

Social networks are real valuable business tools. Anyone else using them as such?

Best,

Jim

after getting roasted in this thread I filled out my face book page and hooked up with all my old college / high school buddies. That is fun, but how do I make money with it?

Drives traffic to your commercial site, and if done correctly can get your some high-powered (weighted) backlinks. But I'm hesitant to say a lot more, for competitive reasons. A lot of what I know is researchable online, however. So you can still gain some leverage with minimal effort.

Best,

Jim

You know you're one of my marketing heroes, right? It surprises me to hear you say that "twitter is junk for business". You couldn't be more wrong. Maybe it sucks for your business, but much depends the business you are in, and who you are targeting. And I guaranty that you would benefit personally and professionally from investing time in twitter. We should chat about it some time. Let me know the best days/times to reach you, or if you want to schedule a phone call.

Hi Jon,

LOL! You got me. Twitter is indeed the micro-blog to end all micros. Google-crawled to the max. But they're another one of those VC-bux-hemorraging operations (read: zip support). Folks are having huge log-in issues (me too). And there's little more that folks can do than create a new account.

Plus, it's a micro. Blogger/Blogspot can be more content-rich (read: more and better weighted backlinks). And it's owned by folks with tons of profit (Google). So I think Blogspot is a better / more reliable platform for businesses. Twix is for kids :^)

Meanwhile, if you can get a password reset sent to me for www.twitter.com/yellotools you'll be my hero. I sent support requests for over a month, flamed on Get Satisfaction, tried to call. Nada. Their password reset system is corrupted, a wide spread problem.

Cheers,

Jim
