Social networking culture has taken the whole world by storm in the current high-tech era. While the masses (right from the toddler to an octogenarian) are finding themselves hooked to social sites, this culture has also had a positive impact in the business world. The web businesses, these days, are facing tough competition from rival sites and these social sites actually serve as a very good marketing platform. Sites like Facebook and Twitter (two of the more popular networking areas) offer unlimited scope for a young or small business to build a powerful network and widen its market.

Social networking allows a business to promote itself in a number of ways. Some of them are as follows:

• Status updates: These social sites permit an organization to create a profile or page under its name and invite fans to interact. As more and more people like or follow your business profile, your popularity grows. By posting interesting statuses, a business can seize the attention of masses and thus create awareness about the products or services.

• Video marketing: Video marketing is another effective and highly popular way of promoting an online business. A number of social networking sites allow a person to upload the videos of his business which can be shared and re-shared amongst the community for spreading awareness. Video sites like YouTube and Metacafe are exclusively designed to cater to the needs of video-lovers for viral video marketing.

• Contests and slogans: A business, in order to grab eyeballs, can hold some sort of contests and award free gift hampers. This form of advertising creates a powerful impact in social networking circle.

Some of the more popular social networking sites include Facebook, Twitter, Digg, YouTube, Metacafe, Google +, LinkedIn, Orkut, Hi5, etc.
