About

Strategic Social Networking is a Web log produced by the Beyond Search
editorial team. You can check out the Beyond Search Web log at

SSN is a Web log designed to help readers use social networking to find
a job, generate sales leads, and sell consulting work. Unlike Beyond
Search, SSN is intended to provide you with actionable information, some
opinions, and insights into using social media to make you successful in
your professional endeavors.

Stephen E. Arnold is a specialist in online search and related
disciplines. He’s the author of the first three editions of the
“Enterprise Search Report,” “The Google Legacy,” and “Google Version
2.0.” His newest study with Martin White, a highly regarded search and
information expert in the UK is “Managing Successful Enterprise Search”.
This November 2008 study will be published by Galatea in the United
Kingdom. Mr. Arnold and his ArnoldIT.com research team have developed
in-depth briefings on Google’s new dataspaces technology. A version of
this remarkable initiative has been published by Sue Feldman and Stephen
Arnold. That document is available from IDC here. The report is number
213562. Mr. Arnold conducts confidential competitive analyses. He can be
reached at seaky2000 at yahoo dot com.

We have started a new report series called, Beyond Search Reports. The
Beyond Search team will prepare a short white paper about a search,
content processing or online service. These reports are prepared for a
client. The approach is objective and we include information that makes
these documents suitable for the client’s marketing and sales efforts.
Clients work closely with the Beyond Search professional to help ensure
that the message is on target and clear. Rates are set to be within
reach of organizations regardless of their size.

If you have a consulting project, a no cost, no obligation price
quotation will be provided. More information is available at Mr.
Arnold’s principal Web site, http://www.arnoldit.com. Or, you can send
him email: ssnblog at gmail dot com. The office number is +1 502 228
1966, in the US Eastern time zone.

variances when you compare certain essays with my other written work. I
started blogging in 2008, and I am still learning the ropes. The purpose
of SSN is to be helpful and also generate interest in the Beyond Search
team’s billable work. We will promote our for-fee studies and highlight
topics that we believe are important to today’s career oriented business
professional. We are human; therefore, we make errors. If you read

Just in case.

If we say something dumb in the future, it’s better to be able to point
out that the error is ours. Keep in mind this is a Web log, not a formal
publication. There’s no editorial review board, no peer-review process,
no comprehensive archive of our social networking activities, and no
guarantee that we are thinking coherently when we jot down our thoughts,
opinions, and viewpoints.
