Steer clear of yelp. Unless you want the 18 to 23 demographic. For mature businesses it’s more bother than it’s worth. Lot’s of fake reviews and shady practices too. Just google it.

I’ve never really used RSS, and haven’t found LinkedIn to be very useful for networking (but then, I’m not in the IT industry, and LI seems mainly focused in IT).

Great tips and very nicely written! Social networking will soon become the most effective way of building your professional career and creating a personal brand. However, one will have to invest time in learning the effectiveness of these sites and ways to use them properly. By the way, I am new to LinkedIn too and have found this resource quite useful. It is a new book called "How to REALLY use LinkedIn" by networking expert Jan Vermeiren. Check it out, you can find a free lite version at http://www.how-to-really-use-linkedin.com/

An interesting article, but I’d advise that before you spend any time networking for business online there are a couple of things to consider.

First is, where are your customers and target market and will they engage with you there. Facebook has 200 million members, but most people are there for sharing with friends and family, NOT for suppliers! Little doubt your contacts are on the site, but they may not be willing to engage, making your activities there a waste of time. This is especially likely to be true if you focus on B2B rather than consumers. Think about using a more work-based network that may have fewer profiles, but the members are there to network to benefit business.

Secondly, think about what you want to achieve and stick to it. Is your goal winning new customers of better serving existing ones? Because new customers and prospects shouldn’t be reading customer service issues; and existing customers won’t want to read the offers you’re making to entice new customers.

WeCanDo.BIZ should also be a place you to for business networking. It’s a fee sales leads and business referrals site, very focused on brokering valuable new relationships and produces a quick return.

Great info! I’m off to try some of these myself. RSS in particular is one I understand–I think–but have never spent the effort to set up/figure out.
