Blake Raab		 This network currently has 90 members, so I think there is great potential for sharing our social media/networking experience and learning. How are you using social networking and social media to promote your business?

Larry Brauner		I have been using social media to brand myself and my ideas.

I started my blog November 2007 and build it up to 11,000 visits per month using a mix of social media and search engine optimization.

Recently my biggest source of new visitors and subscribers is Twitter where I have about 22,000 followers. Thanks to Twitter and other social media sites my subscriber count has gone from 200 to 400+ in just a few months.

I use Ning sites extensively and have two growing sites of my own. Most of my new members join me because of a positive experience on my blog.

Overall my social media presence is working, because I'm connecting with new business for my social media and marketing practice.

I invite you to read "Social Media One Bite at a Time" for more information about my social media journey.

   That was a very informative and well-stated article. I agree that Facebook and Twitter have almost unlimited potential.  I've got @blakesdesigns and @BearsOnPatrol on Twitter, and both have done some great things for me.  The first is for my custom products business, and the second is for my new nonprofit that provides free teddy bears for police officers.  Toward the beginning of this month, I connected with another nonprofit that provides school supplies to low-income children.  They had received 128 teddy bears, which they don't usually work with, and they are donating them to us!

  I'm really putting my energy into Facebook.  We have a cause, a page, and a group there for Bears on Patrol.  I also have a Bear Hugs application, which has had some problems lately, because it's based on a gifts application template, not under my control, but it has potential.
