(Episode 346; 13 minutes 21) Social networking is here to stay, with no sign of its popularity waning. People are increasingly using these websites, like Twitter, Facebook and Linked-in, to extend their network for business purposes.

On BTalk Australia today he discusses with Phil Dobbie (one of the top 100,00 most connected business networkers!) the 4Ps of online networking. Iggy believes that if you follow this advice you’ll see your network of connections grow and new business opportunities could follow.
