Business Social Networks
From Abelard UK
Social networks are a new phenomena.
Different sites provide a different culture but enable members to interact using the facilities on the site.
In the business environment sites such as Ecademy Ecademy, Xing, Linked-In and WeCanDo.BIZ enable businesses to interact in an environment designed to be focused on interactions for business between members. All of these sites allow members to interact in a variety of ways and it’s likely that for any small business one or other will be best suited to their needs.
Some of these business sites allow advertising through a classified listing approach whereas others promote through detailed profile advertising.
The business ethos of these sites enables connections to be made in order to discuss and understand the needs of each business and the opportunities that exist for them to help each other as opposed to social networks discussed below where more emphasis is on individual hobbies and activities.
