There is no doubt that Social Networking has a marmite factor - you either love it or hate it... but regardless of your own preference, millions of people all over the world absolutely love it and businesses that ignore Social Networking as a means of sharing their services do so at their peril, because most of their competitors will be embracing it...

Facebook is a great example of one of the most successful global sites.  In just six years it has grown to a staggering global online community of over 400 million members... proof enough that people are online networking in their droves...

But what if you don’t want to network globally?  What if you have a physically based business and want to network or advertise to attract local bread-and-butter customers?

Global online networks will always have a place and are fantastic resources, but if you are using online networks to network/advertise your local business, which would be more useful, a global or a local network full to the virtual brim with local people?
