ANSWER TO A QUESTION ON LINKEDIN.COM

Facebook and LinkedIn are each some of what Scobel and Cantone called them (rolodex2.0 and email2.0).

But, they also transcend that because they actually allow you to develop real relationships in real time without having to schedule an appointment or interrupt someone’s (or your own) workflow.

And now, Twitter is also, in my opinion, just as powerful as both, but in a different, simpler, and easier to manage way.

Also, as a twitter user, I stumbled upon another simple, yet valuable tool at

Basically, I can combine and integrate all of my web2.0 use on that one little page.  It’s a very simple and easy to use tool with valuable, key information.

Facebook has also been doing an excellent job of providing ways to integrate everything, but so many choices can quickly become unmanageable and overwhelming.  Of course, LinkedIn has been improving in the arena of web2.0 integration, as well; and LI users need to pay close attention to the newest changes and incorporate them into their profiles and groups.

Because of the fact that everyone has their favorite social media sites, it’s so important for business owners and entrepreneurs to position themselves wherever their clients may be and to make themselves relatively simple to locate online, as well.

And, most importantly, the gurus of web2.0 are going to be found in the places that I’ve listed here.  These are the people that have learned how to make web2.0 a viable tool for themselves; that can teach how to customize it to your particular needs (i.e., for great nonprofit advice you need to be on twitter); and for the newest web2.0 and beyond innovations, you need to be there so that you can keep up.

The world has changed fairly rapidly since the www was invented; but this is nothing compared to the exponential changes we are now seeing with the advent of the social networking (web2.0) internet growth phase.  Don’t get left behind.
