"Online social networks allow a prospective customer or prospective member to easily facilitate a real, human-level connection with individuals within an organization. This enables genuine business relationships to form and puts an authentic human face on the interaction, changing the external perception of an organization from a sterile, faceless behemoth into a collection of individuals who are ready to help."
--from Why You Shouldn't Ignore Social Networks,

What is Web 2.0?:
Web 2.0 is all about social networking: connection, participation, feedback, conversation, and two-way communication. YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, LinkedIn, Spoke, and Wikipedia are among the best known of the currently available Web 2.0 or social networking sites and tools. In his widely viewed and highly regarded video, "The Machine is Us/ing Us," anthropologist Michael Wesch offers an overview of how Web 2.0 technologies change the way we interact with the web, and must fundamentally alter how all of us--including business entities--position ourselves in relation to web-based communication.
Social Networking, Online Presence, and Your Business
According
to the Pew Research Center's report, "Digital
Footprints: Online Identity Management and Search in the Age of
Transparency," 53% of adult internet users report using the internet
to seek information about others online. Contact information,
professional background and accomplishments, social and business
networking profiles, and photographs are among the most frequently
sought after pieces of data. Corporate web pages are still
important, but traditional, static websites no
longer fully meet the needs of either our professional peers or our current and
prospective clients.
