Social Networking with Communicate or Die

To ensure a vibrant web presence and to make your site more visible to younger viewers, it's important to establish outposts on the major social networking sites.

The 900-pound gorillas of the social networking market are currently Facebook and MySpace. Each have their strengths and weaknesses, but each provide your organization with a free page and the ability to pipe in feeds from your existing website every time you post something new.
 

People with common interests can become "friends" or "fans" of these pages - and will be likely to then come take a look at your website. They can also share info from your social networking pages with their friends. Both capabilities can quickly help expand your site's audience.

Twitter, the micro-blogging site, allows for a different kind of social networking with an assist from the free service Twitterfeed. By pumping your site feed into Twitter (as "tweets"), you make it easy for people to follow your posts from their cell phones and PDAs. That's cool in and of itself, but Twitter (and other microblogging sites like Pownce) also give you a free page that other Twitterers can "follow" and share with their friends.
