Social Networking Becoming Hotter Than Porn!
That’s right. The increasing number of web users are tuning into various niche-relevant social networks instead of using Google to tap into dirty pages on the ‘net.
But there’s a little catch.
While social networking site traffic is on the rise, a portion of those members are using the social networks for the sexual purposes or online match-making (not the same thing, but you know what I mean).
The good news is, social networks are being harnessed by everyone – from celebrities to politicians, from the ‘tween to the Baby Boomer. Even anti-social people are creating social networks about how much they hate social networking!
There’s a Delete Your MySpace Account network, an Enemybook (anti-friends) site, and more. You can even rent a friend from FakeYourSpace.com if you’re hard up to build a list of contacts in the web 2.0 arena.
Monks are using YouTube to recruit other monks.
Musicians are finding backup singers on social networks.
If you’re not on or creating a social network, you’re out of the loop.
Right now I use Ning for my Building an eBook Empire community (it’s closed to buyers only, sorry).
I use Squidoo for social marketing and as my soapbox for issues I find important.
I use Hub Pages for the same thing.
Which social networks do you see pulling you in or do you wish they had?
