Facebook is not just for college kids anymore. Members are typically older and more mature than on other sites, and there are more affluent and more educated white collar users.

2. Find business contacts.

With more than 100 million active users, and predicted to be 500 million by 2011, not only are your friends on Facebook, so are your prospects, your customers, your JV partners… and, of course, your competitors. You need to be on too. Related post: What’s Your Friending Policy?

Facebook members are open to connecting. You can easily begin a dialog with highly successful—even famous—people who were previously otherwise unreachable.

4. Build relationships.

By engaging in conversations with your prospects and customers, you can better adapt your marketing and business services to meet their needs. Related post: How To Shake Hands On Facebook.

5. Raise visibility.

By consistently and congruently showing up, posting relevant information, and being a thought leader, you can increase visibility and credibility as the expert in your area. Related post: How To Increase Interaction With Your Facebook and Twitter Network.

The lines between business and personal have become blurred. You can reveal as much or as little about yourself as you wish, allowing you to personalize your brand.

web 2.0 my God! there are so many suprises when it comes to this not so new technology. but ever heard of cloud computing? I heard it just today, browsing other blogs and got curious on this. Google Apps was yet using this paradigm.

According to the IEEE Computer Society “It is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that include desktops, entertainment centers, table computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, etc.”.

Because of this cloud computing, everything must  be done will be done without carrying a problem whether you install this application or will install a bunch of stuff in order to work and etc, all you need is an internet connection.

But some open source  guru said that Cloud computing is ’stupidity is he revealing us the truth behind cloud computing?

mmm… now that it is here, what you gonna do?
