Networking has taken on a totally new meaning. Most popular networking sites today are: LinkedIn, MySpace and Facebook. There are others like Friendster and Xanga. Before you start your job search or business, create a profile for yourself and start networking. Be more specific about your profile and interest. Make new on-line friends and exchange valuable information. Another networking site is Squidoo. It is based on expertise in a niche subject.

Internet networking has become very popular and the way to go. You can network with your college and high school friends, alumni, an association or group of people you belong to without losing any time in travel.
