I don't use Facebook much for business purposes, but Twitter is great for networking. I have a freelance writing business (michaelkwan.com) and Twitter can serve as a source for leads.

Not Facebook, because I'd rather keep it personal.

Twitter is fantastic though, keep in touch with friends and meet tons of people who share common goals.

Have a facebook "page" that actually gets a few hits a day, but no promotion on it. I messaged my friends about it at the start, and updated status for new promotions.

twitter.com/

That's twitter. Basically a site where you can post updates about what you're doing live so other people can see.

You can find out more from the wikipedia page: Twitter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter)

I use it when I spot a hot deal.
I post it onto my profile via SMS.

I use twitter/LinkedIn for biz, and to learn from others; FB to keep in touch with friends and possible biz opportunities; and Plurk for fun.

I used LinkedIn for business/career related stuff as well (haven't for a while now...but with the way things are going I might need to start again =P)

I use Facebook as a cost-free advertising tool for my retail business. It has performed very well, I have almost 1k members. It works well for me b/c the lines I carry are generally hard-to-find and it creates a sense of immediacy when I post that I have new stuff in.
