   I find this list quite interesting for several reasons. One, social networking or Web 2.0 sites are a sign of the times and, in my humble opinion, no longer a trend. Most of these social sites will also have members who HAVE NOTHING TO SELL, they are NOT promoting a business, and will add a consumer base that will be very easy to reach. Secondly, very few of the business networking sites made the list. If you want to market to the masses, joining some of the above sites is a must. Third, I have long been a proponent of Squidoo (#22) and one of the best ways to get your business shown in the search engines is to create a Squidoo lens! Finally, for all you "Yuwie doubters", after only seven months of being online they are #34. Quite an accomplishment. Their member base now reaches over 400,000 people and climbing every day!
