I'd like to add that I believe it is very important to have a consistent image (and good headshot) across all social media platform. For example, what you include on LinkedIn should add to what you include on Facebook. The information is different parts of one whole. And I actually think the third leg of this social media marketing stool at the moment is Twitter (and not MySpace). Twitter is so deceptively simple that people misunderstand its power -- that is, they misunderstand until they've gotten a taste of its power. If you need information on using Twitter effectively, there's plenty to be found on the internet. Or you could check out my special report on using Twitter and Facebook for book marketing campaigns at http://www.queensofbookmarketing.com/page1.php.
