Create your Own Social Network

If you've been leery about setting up a profile for your company on MySpace or Facebook, then perhaps you should consider setting up your own. Set up your own? That's right.

Ning.com allows you to set up your own Social Networking site for your brand. This will give you more control over content as well as who signs up. Plus, since it's your own social network, you get an added layer of customer engagement. It will tell you how engaged customers are in your brand, and give them a place to share their enthusiasm with others.
