***To generate this list I ran a query on LinkedIn.com for persons tagged “Social Media,â€� based in New York City, with at least 250 connections. Hyperlinked names lead to an individual’s blog. Other links are to company websites and blogs. If you are not on this list and feel you should be, email me but explain why you are a social media ‘big baller’ and yet aren’t taking full advantage of LinkedIn.

    I found you blog through your referral to my site. It looks like good reading, although I must admit I’m reading it now to find out what is meant by a “big baller”. Thanks for the mention.

    Big Baller = Top Dog = Expert

    It’s a major complement :)

    It is now a basic for business institutions to make their social network more efficient and effective. Networking allows for greater communication and flow of information, as well as reaching customers. Many businesses these days turn to social network websites on the internet, and it doesn't even require personal loans to get on them, only a computer with internet access. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, they are all aiding businesses in reaching the public – Twitter was even used by NASA to broadcast updates from the Mars Rover. Good networking is worth installment loans to upgrade.
