To give a quick background of social and business networking, there are more than 400 social media type websites with the big three being Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. €ough the original intent for the majority of these sites (aside from making money from advertising and paid subscriptions) is keeping family and friends updated on what is new in one’s life or with some purposeful intent of meeting one’s next signiž- cant other, having a networking presence is comparable to having a cell phone, a modern necessity.
