The online world of social media is one of the most dynamic outcomes of the invention of the world wide web. Having instant access to both viewing and participating in online communities of millions around the world, regardless of your career/position/age/location on earth, is one of the biggest boons of the much ballyhooed concept of a “global web community.”
Having said that, many of you are just now starting with the baby steps of creating one or two online professional profiles. Companies like Ziggs have been there to provide this type of free service from the beginning of the social web explosion.
For those of you who are now ready to spread your wings into the social media world, for either business or personal pursuits, here are a few ways to start expanding your visibility online.
1. Always keep your online profile at Ziggs and at other online communities updated and interesting with a current photo. Then, consider your Ziggs Profile as a home base for anchoring the other elements of your online image, such as your blog and more. Be sure to add a link to your Ziggs Profile right into your email signature so people can easily find your online presence from your emails with a click.
2. Next, you may want to consider starting free accounts at a number of the key social media magnets on the Web today. Twitter is one of those irrepressible social media whirlwinds. Visit Twitter for a taste of this phenom and follow a few of the posters that post on topics of interest to you. And once you get the hang of it, you can join twitter conversations yourself and submit your own "tweets." And of course you can include a link to your own tweets in your Ziggs Profile.
3. YouTube isn’t just for teens any more. If you haven’t been to YouTube lately, or had dismissed it as a forum for karaoke disasters, visit it again today. You’ll find everyone from presidential candidates presenting their platforms, to eco-friendly groups promoting solutions for reducing your carbon footprint, to the Steve Jobs address at a recent Stanford graduation ceremony. You can of course post any video content you may have, or to start small, you can comment on existing videos that focus on topics of meaning to you. And of course, any video you post on YouTube can link into your Ziggs Profile.
Since these baby steps are just a starting point for those new to social media, this info is just the start of an action plan for you to continue building out your online presence. More tips on broadening the virtual you coming soon.

Wonderful article ah well. Content is real attractive. The way to bring you good news: The Nike Mercurial Superfly features the same characteristics as the old colourways. Directionally positioned blades maximize cutting and allow for quick changes of direction, while secondary toe traction provides added toe-off power for those first critical steps. Collectively, these Mercurial Vapors design details allow greater speed and quickness in all directions. Nike Flywire technology incorporated into the Mercurial Vapor Superfly streamlined upper provides a lightweight, strong and more dynamic fit.
I have perused numerous different articles on a similar subject, yet your article persuaded me!
