As for facebook, I've never really been a fan of it and have only logged on once this year so far. I think that probably says more about me than facebook, but it's just "not my bag" as an old student friend used to say. Linkedin has always been my preferred networking tool. It's lower key, less in your face and focusses on its main strength (professional networking) rather than trying to be everything to everyone.

I've been doing work on my house recently and it staggers me how few small businesses have websites, email addresses, basic SEO/SEM or entries in the various online directories. LOL
