Are you a Business User on the web, or a person who uses social media just for fun and recreation? This might be an important question. If you use Google Plus, then there may be good reasons to use it for business use, to a large extent. The current trend is for people to try getting their Facebook accounts and profiles turned into Business Profiles so they can appeal more to fans and users who want to either buy, subscribe to or join something. There are over 750 Million users there, so that is understandable.

But what about serious business people who are just in it for strictly business reasons, and have no interest in the fun or recreation stuff? Well, that's where LinkedIn comes in. LinkedIn is a social network intended for serious users who wish to integrate with serious users for networking, for making business links, joining business groups, learning business skills, and getting work offers and even finding jobs. Not to forget promoting themselves.

LinkedIn has grown 120% in the last Quarter of the year, showing a record increase in membership. It works similar to Facebook - you post up a profile and put in your links and join various groups, and grow your membership, and you mingle with others. And simply watch the list of members climb who know you.

LinkedIn has a serious attendance and high traffic numbers. This site has a Google Page rank of 9/10. It is almost up there with Facebook. And curiously, it seems to have some of the facilities that Google Plus would like to have. Google Plus is certainly growing, but many joined Google Plus out of curiosity and some suggest its growth has slowed a tad.

But for business users, for now - it has to be LinkedIn and Facebook.

To Tweet or not to Tweet

Should you Tweet? Is Tweeting addictive? Yes it is and it can seriously damage your social life because you will want to use it so much! Let's face it. Most of us love the internet more than we admit and we are socialising through it more and more. So embrace Tweeting and Twitter. It will help you grow your presence on the web and improve your status!

Websites, what are they good for....?

Websites, probably one of the world's greatest inventions along with blogs. What better way is there to instantly communicate a message out into the world to someone, and get your point across. Many can be created for free. And millions can be created for just a few quid. the possibilities are enormous, and the propensity to earn an income from them is excellent. They can come in whatever shape and form you could possibly want - and can be selling you message and getting reads while you rest, have a coffee or even sleep. They never switch off, and they are always open. I will be announcing a brand new website for you to check out very soon, courtesy of Cheeky Girl, once again. In the meantime, feel free to check out the Cheeky Girl's Apartment. And check out the many articles in my Hub Pages!

68 Articles.com copies Hub Pages

Okay, I have bad news for anyone who writes Hub pages. A boat load of Hubbers have discovered in March 2011 that their hubs are being copied word for word onto a website called www.68articles.com. We think it might be either by a whole bunch of writers with shit writing talent and who are desperate to get earnings from Google using any means possible - or they are being copied by way of using a "scraping" software system that copies huge tracts of information from other websites. I don't know what Hub Pages can do about it, but if you see any hubs copied there, report it to Hub Pages management immediately.

You should also write to 68Articles and report the copyright violations and tell them to unpublish the stolen copied articles. You should also report the copied articles to Google, and let them know that 68 Articles are guilty of having a ton of copied content literally put on 68 Articles word for word. You need to do this immediately, as this is deemed duplicate content, and you will be penalised if it happens. Some of the hubs are not indexed by Google or Bing yet, so this is pretty new. But some articles are being copied from before now. So go there and check your Hubs, to see if any made it onto 68 Articles or not.

If you reproduced your own articles there then that was not a smart thing to do. If you have stolen articles there, do something  about it. Because the word is out now...

Be warned...
