Welcome to this month's highlights in social networking!
 
Web 2.0, Facebook, YouTube, blogs, Twitter, Flickr... if you're not familiar with these terms, it's time you brush up on your knowledge of the Web 2.0 social networking revolution or you could be missing out on some powerful opportunities. By utilising these new technologies effectively you could dramatically increase the success of your business by expanding your consumer base, building your brand, introducing new products and services and strengthening your marketing strategy, to name but a few benefits.
 
If you're new to this field you could start with Marketing to the Social Web or World Wide Rave which describe new social media, demonstrate their power and show you how to apply them to see immediate results and growth. Similarly, The Truth About Profiting From Social Networking and 33 Million People in the Room examine the popularity of social networking and offer advice on using online connections to maximum advantage, social networking strategies, tips for guarding privacy, and avoiding pitfalls.
 
Twitter Power and Twitter: Free Social Networking For Business will teach you more about the instant benefits of using this social media phenomenon to boost your websites' traffic and your income, and Throwing Sheep in the Boardroom provides advice for senior managers on how to understand and utilise Web 2.0.
 
And even if you're not familiar with these terms and tools, it's likely that your employees are so you'd be wise to read The e-Policy Handbook, which gives you every­thing you need to develop clear, complete e-policies to protect your organization.
