Did you know that your CRS profile on-line in the National Database will now include your profile links to several social media sites?

Those of you "in the know" about the advantages of participating in social media networking are probably members of one or more of the most popular sites (I personally recommend the first 4)

• ActiveRain - blogging site
  
• LinkedIn
  
• Facebook
  
• Twitter - microblogging site
  
• Hi5
  
• Orkut
  
• MySpace.

Now you can include profile links to those sites in your on-line profile. Plus you can add two additional ones (I included my Plaxo Profile)

Simply log in to My Advantage on the CRS site and click on the link to Update Your Member Profile. Add the correct links from the individual site then save.

Twitter is becoming very much a part of mainstream social media networking. You surely have heard of it, or perhaps are even tweeting on Twitter now. Many folks use it for its social aspects, and there is certainly a great deal of value in expanding your on-line social network and letting folks know who you are and what areas you service.

But Twitter can also help you in your business if you choose to make the effort to use it..

I wrote a recent article on ActieRain that you may find useful if you are using Twitter now. And it might give you an incentive to get involved with Twitter - after all, it's free.
