What is Social Networking and why your restaurant
needs it?

Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, places and interests within their individual networks and groups.

Social networking is actually a pretty broad term. It basically means any type of relationship-building amongst a group of people with a common interest (business or personal). However, that term has taken on a whole new dimension online, where social networking sites (MySpace,  Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Linked In, Blogger) are popping up faster than you can say "Will you be my friend?"

These Web sites are designed around helping people network and build relationships via online, instead of the more traditional face-to-face networking meetings. Through social media and online networking, you can reach thousands of new customers who may not of ever found you any other way. And even better; keep them comming back for more!
