Secure Your Vanity Name For Social Networking Sites
If you are a blogger or have an online business, and you have accounts with Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Digg, Stumble Upon, You Tube, Linkedin, Reddit, Flickr etc; it is imperative you protect your brand or product name by securing your very own vanity name (Read more about vanity names here).
For example I have secured the following:
www.facebook.com/lawrencesykes
www.digg.com/users/lawrencesykes
www.flickr.com/photos/lawrencesykes
www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencesykes
www.lawrencesykes.stumbleupon.com/
www.friendfeed.com/lawrencesykes
www.delicious.com/lawrencesykes

Social Networking and Viral Marketing for Businesses
Many people have heard of Web 2.0, but not many actually know what it means or stands for. Web 2.0 actually evolved out of the dot com crash of 2001. It encompasses websites where the user or member generates the content. The user does this by way of creating profiles on Facebook and MySpace, starting a blog on Blogger, adding articles to Wikipedia, uploading and sharing videos on YouTube.
Web 2.0 sites have the ability to boost you main website’s online ranking by way of viral marketing; but this concept is both hard to comprehend for some people, and also difficult to implement adequately.
