			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Small businesses are beginning to discover the benefits of reaching out to other businesses and entrepreneurs.  The videos below give some background on the sites and techniques that can be used to do online business social networking.</p>
<p>The first video below covers the topic of several sites that focus on business and/or small business.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q5aNukE6CtU&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q5aNukE6CtU&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>The links below open in a new window, so the video will keep playing:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://linkedin.com" title="linked in" target="_blank">Linkedin</a> &#8211; over 11 million members</li>
<li><a href="http://ryze.com" title="ryze" target="_blank">Ryze</a> &#8211; entrepreneurs, has targeted forums</li>
<li><a href="http://jumpup.com" target="_blank">JumpUp</a> &#8211; a free website</li>
<li><a href="http://gobignetwork.com" title="go big network" target="_blank">GoBigNetwork</a> &#8211; a large site aimed at companies &amp; investors, including vendor reviews</li>
<li><a href="http://www.sharakarasic.com/online-community-list.html#biz" target="_blank">List of other business communities &#038; social networks</a> &#8211; over 25 sites listed.
</ul>
<p>However, some people report that <a href="http://www.smallbiztrends.com/2004/07/entrepreneurs-best-friend-social.html">blogging is their most valuable online tool for getting connected</a>.</p>
<p>But, as the video below highlights, much energy and attention is now focused by businesses on social networking:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mhZ9qmnPITA&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mhZ9qmnPITA&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>With tens of millions of people visiting each of the major websites each month (MySpace, Youtube, Linkedin), this trend will continue.</p>
