One of the first steps in Strategic Social Networking is to know where to look for information from social systems. Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo include content from high-profile social content sources like Facebook. Here at SSN, we need to look for fresh social information from different angles, from different services.
We are providing you with a selected list of social search systems. We have provided a brief comment about how we use these services, and we invite you to use the comments section of the SSN Web log to offer your ideas about the utility of these services.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos
