Social Media networking -

Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Ning ect. Social networking sites allow users to add friends, send messages and share content creating community around like minded interests. This is where you customers, clients, prospect and friends are handing out. It is the new “word of mouth”

Social bookmarking - Digg, Delicious Social bookmarking applications allow users to share their favorite online content with one another while also creating online bookmarks that the user can refer to in the same way he would a bookmark created offline in his web browser.

Blogs - Wordpress, TypePad, Blogger as well as many other up and coming, non-branded blogging platforms Bloggers are author that write blogs about any interest he or she has. You blog site is your very own Social Media Site that you control and you can platform media from others of the same interest on your site. Blogs share your message with the world.

Wikis - Wikipedia A wiki refers to online content about any particular topic resulting from multiple users working on the same content, but at different times and from different places.

Photosharing - Flickr, Photobucket Photosharing sites are where people can upload photos to share either privately with only selected other users or publicly.
