I always look at social networking and think about how easy it is to connect, build great relationships with, and prosper from social networking. Perhaps that is why sometimes it is great for me to put a post out like this to remember the small things with social networking that make a big difference. So here is my list in random order. Everything here is easy to do and no one item is more important than the rest.

1. Smile before you start social networking. We can tell.

2. When you first go on Facebook comment on one other person's post first.

3. Answer one question on LinkedIn or Yahoo Answers.
