Opening comments

A.  Social Networking Online:  Before joining a social networking community online, you should:

1. Have a definite purpose and focus for your participation
2. Know the audience demographics for the community.
3. Know or have an idea of the volume of daily users of the community.

A brief list of social networking communities that I have joined include:

• Yahoo! 360 based on my recent increase in using Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! Groups where I have created numerous online communities myself
• MySpace
• Friendster
• Orkut
• Ryze
• LinkedIn
• Six Degrees Black
• Black Planet

B.  Trillian and Instant Messaging software
C.  Skype, Gizmo, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), and VOIP hardware 

D.  Review of Google Base

Comparing and contrasting Google Base versus eBay, Craigslist and Overstock

Google Base needs a payment system to compete with PayPal

Google Base needs to allow more search results (50 or 100 recommended versus returning only 10 results per page as it does now)

E.  Ning

 

Social Networking online is good for purposes involving music, relationships, careers, and commerce which provides a huge benefit of being online versus offline.  Social networking online also gives you a stronger international outlook and perspective.
