| Facebook |
This social network is probably one of the more open and ongoing of the bunch. Once you are friends, you get to see all sorts of things that the other people are commenting on or about. This is also a great place to put up photos that you have. I've linked to my Facebook page so that you can see some of what I'm talking about. |
| YouTube |
Can you sing? How about making a video of the kids? Create a visual document and post it here. This is a great place to show off. My link over there on the left is to one of my YouTube sites where I am promoting Johnny and Ardener's CD's. |
| Squidoo |
If you like to write about things, this is a good place to post articles. This is a great place to post "How To..." since most of us know something about something that we can write about. You can also link back to other stuff that you have on the internet. I've created some lens (that is what they call a page). The link is to your left from here. |
| Twitter |
Can you Tweet? You've got about 140 characters to say something. But, you can get really creative here and carry on full conversations if you want. |
| Linkedin |
Looking for a job? This is the primary function of this site. However, it is also a great way to tell the world about you. You never know. |
| MySpace |
This is a website - in my case a personal one. I started making it then stopped. I'll probably fix it up to demonstrate what can be done, that that will be later. |
| Zazzle |
Not exactly a social network, but if you are artzy-fartzy you can put your creations on a wide variety of products and earn money when they are sold. You can also get commissions on other things that get sold through your "store". |

You can publish a book through here if you like, we did it once when I was working with a local poet. It was a fun project. |
| Google Sites |
What a great way to create your own website for Free. See mine as an example. This is a lot like MySpace above. |
| Blog |
This is a good way to compliment your other activities particularly if you want those other places to be found on the search engines. You can talk about anything that strikes your fancey (but keep it legal and ethical). |
| Picassa Albums |
A great way to share pictures on the internet. |
