Transcript: Social Networking in Plain English

***Begin Quote***

Networks get things done. Whether it’s sending a letter or lighting your home. Networks make it happen.

***and***

This solves a real world problem because your network has hidden opportunities. Social networking sites make these connections between people visible.

Like a map for a highway, they can show you the people network that can help you get to your next destination, whether it’s a job, a new partner, or a great place to live. Your network is suddenly more useful.

***End Quote***
