I decided to try out a gaggle of the social networking sites out there to see if any of them are offering something that is new and exciting. To experiment, I created groups, lenses, communities, and social networks on Gather, Squidoo, Ning, and Vox.
My initial verdict is that each of these sites are VERY similar to one another. I wonder how each of these sites is planning on surviving with the News Corp backed MySpace and ‘$15 Billion Dollar Company’ Facebook seemingly dominating the social networking space. How many social networks can one person really be expected to actively participate in? With that in mind, I’ll try to do my best to be unbiased and explore each of the options and opportunities these sites present.
Each of my….whatever they call them, are in the VERY infant stages thus far. I did get some interesting emails from users in the Vox community that might turn into real networking opportunities. As I add content and information to these sites, I’ll review each of them and let everyone know how you could use these services to increase your dealership’s online presence and create ‘buzz’ around your brand.
