Christmas is the time of year to reach out to your fellow man...to do alittle good...to be friendly to both strangers and family. The best way to do this (with your computer, that is) is to network.
It could be myspace. Maybe facebook. How about friendster. Nope, none of those.
My all time favorite is Ning. This is a fantastic site. Not only can you visit Ning and find a group on anything, you can go there and start your own group. I, myself, am the member of 8 groups and 3 waiting approval. I have even started a group about having multiple births to go along with my blog about the same.
Let us try some terms and find out what we come up with, shall we...
- Ning's most popular networks at the moment
- Art networks
- Networks relating to business
- Education networks
- Networking moms
- And don't forget the dads
- How about alittle marketing
- The state of Iowa
- And last, but not least, family
Check out any of those groups, or you can do a custom search for the group you are looking for. This is also a great way for families to keep in touch, share pictures, and have it totally private. You can make the group by invite and approval only. So no peeky-peeky by anyone not wanted.
And if you are into networking, like me, then this networking platform is a one-stop shop. You can join several groups, from working moms, to stay at home business, to marketing, to gaming, to scrapbooking, and only have to stop by one place. And you can invite your friends and family so you can just go to the one network to find everyone you ever wanted to network and reach out to.
So, go and spread some christmas cheer...and you will never guess...christmas has some networks too.
