A social network is made up of a group of people who connect to one another and normally have some kind of common interest. You may even be a member of a social network now such as LinkedIn, Myspace, Ning, or Facebook. There are tons of other social networks on the web, and there are many different reasons to join them. But, what about using one to promote your jewelry business? I'm researching this right now, and I'm interested to hear from anyone who has done this already, so feel free to leave a comment about it.
For those who want more information about social networking, here are a few articles I found around the web:

I just joined LinkedIn.com … so far, it seems like Tammy and I are the only jewelry or beading “professionals”. Has anybody else joined? Maybe with their “day job” information?
I am at LinkedIn too. Will drop a invite to Tammy and Kaytee.
There is a network completely devoted to jewelry designers and people in jewelry field only. Have a look at jewelstruck.com , its still in development stage but is worth to look at.
Hi I’m 11 years old and I just started a spool-knit jewelry business a couple days ago and I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites where you sign up and you can post things like an awesome new tool you just bought or if you made a mistake and wanted to post about that. Just something where you could connect with other jewelry makers. If you know of any please email me at natattack22@chess.com. Thanks!
