2. Twitter for Business — Twitter is all over the TV news and news magazines.

3. Make Friends, Make Sure They Know Your Business — You want to be friends with your customers on Facebook. You want to share videos about your products and services on YouTube and photos about them on Flickr. You definitely want customers sharing their videos, photos and information about their experiences with your business on these web sites. Why? It’s networking at digital speed. We’ll get you up to speed.
