Some of the most powerful and useful tools at our disposal are not being used to anywhere near their full potential, which is a crying shame given the effect that they could have if used properly or at all.

The Internet is a medium that we have at our disposal, it is where we can flourish. It is the one single platform we have that (as yet) cannot be edited, corrupted or controlled. So we had damn well better start to make the most of it whilst we still can. It has served us well thus far.

I feel we have the most important and most beneficial tools at our disposal. There are Facebook, bebo,Twitter, MySpace, Livejournal and Digg-it.

Each and every one of us has the option and ability to share or send the article they have just read to each and every one of these other social networks.

For example, I have around 350 friends / contacts on Facebook alone. Once I have read an article I can click the Facebook Icon below and deliver this page to 350 friends in a single mouse click. How long would it take you to send that out in emails?

Better still, if one of my 350 friends then shared this page with his 350 friends and he then shared it with 350 of his friends… you get the picture!

These are very powerful tools, please, please start to make the most of them. If you are not Internet savvy, at least make the effort to try and become Internet savvy.

I think everyone should have at least one one social website page.
