Tune in to Social Networking
Online Marketing Magic

There is a lot of noise around social networks. It all started with a few techie websites, as they were the only people patient enough to use the internet a few years back. LinkedIn used to be so very basic and now look at it! People listen to the noise and this creates activity or panic! What should I be doing? Everyone else is using social networks but I rather talk to people in real time, am I mad? Should I join in? When? How? HELP!
