Social networking: good for business, or total waste of time?

November 19, 2008 by Jenni 

I’ve been spending a bit of time on FaceBook and LinkedIn lately, partly because they’re fun diversions but mostly because I hope these popular social networking sites will provide additional exposure (and then… business) for Lunalux. I was reluctant to delve in, as I know it’s easy to waste a lot of time on these sites. But the forward-thinking part of me suspects that online social networking sites provide unique opportunities for me to connect with people. So, we’re gonna see how it goes! If you use either of these websites, I would love to connect with you there!

Click here to view my LinkedIn profile – I am particularly interested in connecting with people who have come to Lunalux for design and print work. Please invite me to join your network, and if you’re up to it, write me a recommendation! If you’re on FaceBook, I hope you will become a fan of Lunalux – I plan to post photos and notes there that are a little more informal and personal than what you read here on the Lunalux blog.
