If you are an entrepreneur or job seeker one of the best ways to network, market, and gain audience for your product or service(s) is to leverage the power of social media networks.
The following is a list of the top 25 social media “networks” as ranked by traffic (visits per month) in a great retrospective article by Andy Kazeniac of Compete.com “Social Networks: Facebook Takes Over the Top Spot, Twitter Climbs.” This is a retro look at Andy’s original ranking of the Top 25 last year. Note: Twitter came in at #22 on that list–look at them today.

Job Seekers
For job seekers #5, LinkedIn and #3, Twitter are the most vital social networks you can utilize to deliver your value, network, and research opportunities.

Your social networks of choice will depend on your audience demographic and what you have to offer. Facebook, truly a social site, is great for lifestyle and consumer offers. LinkedIn is for business-to-business networking. Twitter spans both business and consumer, and Myspace reaches the youngest crowd.

Twitter made big jump. But somehow I did expect this. S o many people going there.
I’ve read an article yesterday about social networks and their problems to earn money. The big money making times for them are gone. I’ve more and more the feeling that the people making money from them are the ones using the Networks for their own business. Like some Facebook Apps for example. With a good idea everything is possible and that’s what I like there.
B,
I think you are right in your statement “With a good idea everything is possible and that’s what I like there.” Twitter is a very good idea and with the interest they continue to attract, they will find the key to profitability without having to sell the business to make it.
