Making Connections Through Myspace
MySpace is an online community focused on helping individuals to make new friends or reconnect with old friends. With this type of goal in mind it is not surprising that the vast majority of MySpace members use the community to make connections with other members. This may include staying in touch with old friends and family members, reconnecting with lost friends, making business connections or even meeting romantic partners. This article will discuss how all of these opportunities are available on the MySpace community.
Keeping in Touch with Friends and Family
MySpace can be an excellent way for friends and family members to stay in touch. Encouraging friends and family members to join MySpace with you can help you to stay in better contact with these individuals. Communicating through MySpace is a lot of fun and gives users the ability to post pictures, audio files and video files in addition to personal information presented in a blog. Members can leave comments for each other or just stay in touch by reading each others websites and posting personal information on their own websites for others to read.
Reconnecting with Lost Friends
Overtime we all lose contact with some of our old friends. Whether this is a trusted friend who was with you through the trying times in high school, a companion who helped you make it through college or even an acquaintance you met in passing at a bus stop MySpace can help you to reconnect to these old friends.
One passive way to reconnect with lost friends is to simply create your own MySpace website and wait for these lost friends to contact you. This may not always happen but it is possible. MySpace is an extensive community with members all around the world and it is very possible your old friend may see you on MySpace and contact you. Also, if you create a blog entry expressing an interest in reconnecting with an individual, your blog may be seen by someone who knows your lost friend and passes along the message.
Another way to find lost friends on MySpace is to use the search feature. The simplest way to search for someone is by using their full name. However, not all members post their full name. Other methods of finding an individual include entering their nickname into the search feature or entering keywords related to their favorite hobbies, books, movies or entertainers. This method may require a great deal of research and may be quite time consuming but it can help you find your lost friend if they have a website on MySpace.
Making Business Connections
MySpace can also be used to make business connections. The search feature can be used to find others who share your business interests, dreams and goals. Once you find these individuals you can engage them in conversation by sending an email or instant message or by leaving a comment on their website. These connections may lead to potential business relationships but they may also simply be networking opportunities which allow those interested in certain business aspects to converse with others who share this interest.
Meeting Romantic Partners
Finally, a large portion of those who are using MySpace are hoping to make a romantic connection. MySpace is an online community which enables users to post photos and information about themselves for other members of the community to view. This effectively makes MySpace very similar to a dating service. There is also a space for users to enter information regarding whether or not they are single or looking for a romantic interest. Those who are looking for romance can spend time searching for others who they find physically attractive, share their interests and are also seeking romantic companionship. These MySpace members can contact each other through emails, instant messages or through comments left for each other on the websites. A courting relationship online can progress to an offline relationship or can remain online depending on the wants and intentions of the partners.
The Perfect Business And Social Networking Community.
Capitalizing on the fastest growing global Internet trend.
The global Internet community continues to grow at an amazing rate. From 70 million people in December of 1997, as reported by International Data Group, to 1,245 million in September of 2007 as forecast by Internet World Stats. Representing a growth from 1.7% of the worlds population to 18.9% in a short span of just 10 years and that’s only the beginning.
In those very few years, the Internet has morphed into a very powerful platform that has changed the way we communicate with each other and the way we do our everyday business. The Internet, as with no other medium, has expanded the International or Global dimension of the world. It has become a universal source of information and business opportunities. For a very low investment, anyone can create a web page for social or business networking. Almost any individual or business, no matter the size or the location, can reach a very large market, socially or for e-commerce, fast and economically.
With that said, it brings us to one of the fastest, if not the fastest, growing segments of the world wide web, business and social networking communities. We’ve all heard of them and many have participated in some, such as MySpace, YouTube, MSN Groups, Blogger and the list goes on and on. If we had all been very smart, had a crystal ball and a few extra shekels laying around, we would have all invested in these companies and retired somewhat the better.
The latest rapidly growing segment of the networking community is online business networking sites.
With a global outreach this type of site can reach the ever expanding global populace using the internet, allowing them to connect with virtually any individual or business. Anyone can use networking sites to expand their business while making invaluable contacts world wide and to do some of the easiest, cheapest and smartest form of advertising available.
The latest and maybe the most interesting of the next generation of networking sites is called the gibLink Community, standing for Global Internet Business Community. This new business and social Internet community has incorporated global revenue sharing into the mix so that all of its advertisers/subscribers can have a share of the revenues generated. Now let’s imagine a global Internet community with millions of business people from around the globe, networking and sharing ideas, and now benefiting from a revenue sharing plan. Ponder this: How much is Google worth? You get the picture.
Just launched two weeks ago on October 15th Forbes business magazine had this to say about gibLink:
“On Monday, September 24th the giblink conference call was swamped with over 20,000 people who wanted information.
What if you had had the chance to revenue share with the owners of MySpace, YouTube, GoDaddy or Google? That would be the opportunity of the century!!!!
Now imagine for a moment, a company that could bring all the best elements of these companies under one roof with a primary focus on a business social networking community, designed for small, medium and even home business entrepreneurs around the world to promote, advertise and expand their core business to compete in the global marketplace.”
All in all gibLink has set itself up to be a Global Internet Business community designed to make connections that count and:
? Promote yourself and your business
? Create a network of business connections
? Promote to new potential customers and like minded people around the globe
? Create a network of business connections to refer business to each other
? Expose your business to a Global Audience
? Publicize and find forthcoming Business and Social Events
? Create and announce Blogs, Clubs and Classified Ads
? Expand your business to capitalize on the hottest in-demand web services globally
? Expose your business to a Global Audience
gibLink is set to change the way people do business and it is the first worldwide collaboration of entrepreneurs from across a very wide business spectrum. We can view gibLink as the next evolution in online business networking or social networking sites designed to aid everyone doing business in a new global business environment.
One of my very favorite sayings applies oh so well to a new global venture such as the gibLink Community: If you do today what you did yesterday, will you be where you want to be tomorrow?
God Bless and Always Remember To Make It A Great Day!!

First Impression – A Key To Your Business Connection
What is the last snapshot in the mind of the people who have at some point met with you? What do they remember most? The first impression can either open for you greater business opportunities that are bound to change your entire life, or they can be the only thing that blocks your chances of acquiring anything significant in your life.
Fashion specialists have discovered that 95% of people who are likely to pay any attention to you when they meet you especially for the first time, will only do so because of how you appear to them. People will always treat you the way you look or talk so long as they do not know you much.
Supposing you have an appointment with a businessman to strike a deal, try to look your best. Look organized, presentable, confident, well informed and financially stable. When selling your product, be careful how you relate with your customers. They do not know much about you but if you give them the best impression on the first contact, they will keep returning over and over.
Learn to prepare yourself well before you go out to make a business deal. Never forget, respect, courtesy, smartness and intelligence.
If you have a website use good color combinations that are attractive and eye catching. That first impression is crucial in determining how long a visitor will spend on your site. Also, the site should be well organized and easy to navigate through, in other words user friendly. On top of that offer your customers genuine products in order to gain their trust.
