Three ways I can use social networking is:

1. to find possible part-time work on Craigslist. I have been told that focus groups or jobs that are very short term are listed on Craigslist.

2. I am interested in finding possible websites that will help me to make easy, quick healthy recipes. I checked out chow.com and found it interesting but not a site that I would visit again. I can use them to help me in find healthy recipes and tips when it comes to preparing food for my family (aunts and 1 mom).

3. I could also maybe get rid of some of the clutter in my apartment and sell or give aways items I no longer use. This will have to take place when I have lots of time.....

If I were to use it in a business application I would use it to exchange ideas on how to better manage the day to day operation of small business. I dream (as I think many of us do) of owning my own business and I would think the possibility of finding people with similar businesses who had been at them for extended periods of time would be invaluable.

I hope everyone has lots of fun exploring... I am still trying to navigate this new and interesting tool. I thought I was doing well with my use of e-mail. Now I will have to work up the nerve to go to facebook, myspace, and u-tube (? is this correct, is it called u-tube?).... I want to know what everyone is talking about. I'll let you know how I do. Take care....
