Networking has taken on a new element made possible by the use of social networking websites. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can allow you to establish or reestablish connections with colleagues and build or strengthen your professional network.
Businesses are leveraging the power of the social media websites to create brand awareness, as an online reputation management tool, for recruiting, to learn about new technologies and competitors, and as a lead gen tool to intercept potential prospects.

The White Giraffe by Lauren St. John
Martine’s parents are killed in a fire, and she must leave her home in England to live on a
wildlife reserve in Africa with a grandmother she never even knew she had.
As soon as Martine arrives at the reserve, she hears whisperings of a mythical animal living there – a white giraffe. No one has ever seen the animal, but it leaves
footprints behind. Her
grandmother insists that the white giraffe is just a legend, but then, one stormy night, Martine looks out her bedroom window straight into the eyes of the tall and silvery animal. The white giraffe is real!
But why is everyone keeping the white giraffe’s existence a secret? Does it have anything to do with the rash of poaching going on at the reserve? To find out, Martine will use all of her courage and smarts, and an emerging gift for healing, in a daring adventure to save her new friend.
