According to Jeremy A. Kaplan at foxnews.com, a brief post on Twitter by the well-connected founder of the Digg tech news website has now got the rumor mill churning, about a “Google Me” service being in the works – a possible – definite – competitor for Facebook.

6 Social Media Tips for Your Business Blog
Have you had someone
Ask you to be their Facebook friend?
Read your favorite blogs?
Followed tweets on Twitter?
Bookmarked a website on Digg or Delicious?
Watched a video on YouTube?
Looked at a photo album on Flickr?
If so, you’ve just experienced the power of social media.
Social media offers many benefits to your business. It can help you learn about and reach out to your customers, make your business blog more visible and relevant to search engines, show that you’re keeping up with technological advances, and promote your business faster and farther than ever before possible.
Want to learn more and get started with social media? Here are six secrets for making the most of social media to promote your business website.
1. Find out what they’re saying about you. The first step in making social media work for you is to find out what people are saying about your business online. Social media sites offer search functions that let you search for content related to your business. If you don’t see anything out there, or what you see isn’t what you want, you can do something about it.
2. Start a blog and post regularly. It’s easy to add an inexpensive blog to your business website. You can use your free blog to talk about what your business is doing, link to other blogs in the same or similar industries and even offer promotions via your blog.
3. Make a Facebook Fan Page. A Facebook Fan Page lets you share all kinds of information about your business with people who love business. It helps you find the people most interested in your business by letting them find you.
4. Post photos and videos. Pictures and videos speak louder than words. Flickr and YouTube are good places to put videos and pictures of your product or service, as well as how-to videos and commercials.
5. Leverage links and bookmarks. Social media sites let you link back to your business website. This increases the number and quality of links to your business website, which increases its credibility and relevance in the eyes of your human audience and automated search engines bots. Another way to leverage links is with social bookmarking sites like Digg and Delicious. Add a social media button to your blog posts and pages to let visitors bookmark them easily.
6. Advertise on social media sites. One of the newest frontiers in Internet advertising is using social media sites. While this form of advertising is still new, and advertising on these sites is not as sophisticated as other forms of online advertising, it allows you to target your advertising to visitors most likely to visit and buy from your business website.

If you are going to set up, or hire someone to set up a blog for you, then give a little thought to the type of blog that you are going to keep on going back to. You want to make daily entries. This will require both the interest and the skill to keep a basic topic alive. In all good light, it really should reflect something about your business.
If you are running an geography educational website you probably wouldn’t run a blog about your pet dog. However, depending on the type of business you run, you might have to make a stretch in order to get interesting topics. Before you set up your blog, make a list of potential subtopics that you could use to keep your blog going for at least six weeks. You might not have to change subtopics daily, but your ultimate goal is to get people interested in joining your perpetual conversation as well as invite them to make use of your website. Knowing in advance that you can come up with at least 40 subtopics will ease the stress of trying to figure it all out on the fly.
Bloggers are growing by the day. There are professional bloggers who step in and blog for businesses and individuals who need blogging services and business bloggers who are able to maintain their own business blogs. With over three million blogs worldwide, personal blogging is one of the fastest growing internet based hobbies in the world.
There are a great many opportunities for those who want to blog to attract business to their website as well as for those who want to blog professionally. In either case, the blogger must be willing to be patient and develop a clear cut view of their goals. It takes time to develop a reputation, which is what is necessary for the blogging world to run and jump into your next blogging move.
If you have a strong skill with the written word and you have a broad knowledge base, blogging can be very profitable for you. Developing those skills might take more effort for some than others, but the main goal is to be able to communicate effectively about topics without having to spend a lot of time researching them. Quick, accurate blogs are better than long drawn out blogs.
Without any type of audience connection, your blog is likely to fail. Blogging requires a general understanding of what your audience is looking for and how to deliver with shining and prime entries every single time.
Do not take your audience off track. They aren’t interested in pictures of your cat when they are talking about the ecological effects of war. Keep things visually stimulating and use fonts that are large enough to comfortably read but not so large that it detracts from the content. Never slam another entry. You can offer a different viewpoint but refrain from becoming hostile or name calling even if you aren’t shown the same respect.
Blogging can be extraordinarily profitable for a business. Remember that you are out there building a name for yourself and your end goal. The better you become at blogging, the more likely you are to see financial reward for your skills.
BIG TIP! Don’t think a cheap freebie blog will do so well on the search engines –
