A “top list” of social networks and online communities for business and corporate. Australian Businesswomen’s Network - run mentoring programs (private community). Australian Investment Network - Connecting Entrepreneurs with Angel Investors investors can list Not blogs - they must have community features of many-to-many discussions, leaders, UGC etc.  Here’s my Australian list:
The main thing for me was to chat with Affiliate marketers about how social networks pass information around. You don’t need a big social network yourself. They are primarily one-to-many channel (blogger sets theme, tone and subject) and the social network sees the “finished product” - and can leave questions/comments/reviews. While you are reading the presentation outline below I’d like you to think about the Twitter change today. Today Twitter turned off “see replies to those I’m not following”.

As you can see, their ranking in Australia is left column, then the blog name, their ranking in August last year, their ranking today, and for fun, their Twitter ID if I have it handy. Not decided by the local BlogMafia -heh - but internationally recognised and independently evaluated? This is the list.
I was asked to help with promoting a new social network mobile phone from 3 called the INQ so I came up with these “social butterflies”. You know, profile and identity personalities or “demographics” for social networks.  In social networks , the Camoufly keeps their profile separate for each network. You guys are gonna kill me *falls off chair a laughing* NOT to be taken too seriously. Camoufly…ch anges colour depending on the environment Reading the social situation and behaving appropriately is their greatest gift, a place
