LinkedIn: This site helps you build effective business relationships based on nurturing the "know, like, and trust" factor. If you are just beginning to think about using online tools to showcase your personal brand to your business and social networks, begin with LinkedIn.

Facebook: Facebook helps you tell your story in ways that connect, inform, and entertain. This allows you to navigate the gentle balance of being social while also sharing enough of your personal brand to offer a satisfying taste of what others experience when they meet you in person. But, as your mother always told you, be careful who you hang out with! Your community of choice makes an impression.
