Popular social networking sites, including MySpace Friendster and Facebook are changing the shape of online world today.

 You may not know it but that’s an excellent jump-off point to become:

- promote your business
Here are ways you can maximize your social networking site and make it work for you:
Make friends. Lots of friends.
Making friends and building online relationships are the main reasons social networking sites exist. Before you create an account, make sure you already know your purpose.
Do you want to build traffic for your blog or business website? Do you want to start an online community to fight poverty and racial discrimination? Do you want to tell people about the wonders of the balalaika? Be clear about what you want.
Always be in the thick of things.
Social networking sites thrive on the newest, latest and up-and-coming stuff. If you want to maximize your presence here, keep yourself up-to-date about the latest buzz. Be on the lookout for the most recent developments, especially those happening in the industry you’re in.
Learn to optimize.
Since you already have the opportunity, learn how to attract the right audience or market to your social networking site. This is an excellent move, especially if your objective is to promote your online business, have people read your e-book or form alliances with likeminded individuals.
Keep your online presence updated.
You don’t have to visit the social networking site everyday but it will help if you become a regular presence. More people will get to know you and get in touch with you. Whatever your objective is, you get to maximize your presence and make full use of social networking sites.
Do it with style.
Nothing drives more people away than a crass come-on. Avoid pushing your objectives too hard or it will look like a hard-sell. Use style, be creative and you can get people to do what you want them to do.

Agree with nearly all of that. I think what your getting at is to “keep it good and unique”. It will eventually attract people and go big no matter how much money a webmaster has to invest in the site.
