What is Facebook
Facebook is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.^[1] Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves. The website's name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.

What is a Twitter?
Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can send and receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS (receive only), or through applications such as Tweetie, Twitterrific, Twitterfon, TweetDeck and Feedalizr. The service is free to use over the web, but using SMS may incur phone services provider fees.
Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets", to your friends, or "followers."

The short format of the tweet is a defining characteristic of the service, allowing informal collaboration and quick information sharing that provides relief from rising email and IM fatigue. Twittering is also a less gated method of communication: you can share information with people that you wouldn't normally exchange email or IM messages with, opening up your circle of contacts to an ever-growing community of like-minded people.

You can send your messages using the Twitter website directly, as a single SMS alert, or via a third-party application such as Twirl, Snitter, or the Twitterfox add-on for Firefox. (See below for links to Twitter tools and applications.)

Your tweets are displayed on your profile page, on the home page of each of your followers, and in the Twitter public timeline (unless you disable this in your account settings.)

You who?
YouTube is an online public communications site. The site allows for registered users to upload and have available for the public their videos for viewing. Anyone who goes to the site can view the videos that are posted on this site. The videos are anything from beginner videos to more professional videos.

You can put just about anything you want on the YouTube site. You can also watch just about anything on YouTube. There are some great videos out there on YouTube that are very interesting and entertaining and will never be seen anywhere else.

Why use plaxo?
People are transient. Now more than ever, your contacts move around from company to company, city to city, country to country. If you’re connected on Plaxo, the service tracks those changes automatically for you.

Companies make changes. Sometimes the business moves, other times the URL changes or the phone numbers change. People get promoted or assume new responsibilities. Titles change. If you’re connected to John Smith and he makes a change on his profile, your information is automatically updated. (Note to current users: when you make changes in your contact info, be sure to update on Plaxo.)

Relationships vary. Though we friend people on Facebook, follow people on Twitter, and connect on LinkedIn, Plaxo recognizes that not everyone is a friend in real life. Mrs Smith explained once that there are some people she’d meet for coffee, other people she’d fly halfway around the world to see - at the drop of a hat. Someone who said a true friend is someone who will help you move your sofa. He also talks more specifically about future use of velvet ropes. Some people are business contacts, others are friends and then there’s family. Plaxo lets you share information accordingly.

Birthdays matter. Life is busy. I forget birthdays and though ideally I would send paper cards in the mail to arrive well ahead of someone’s birthday, the reality is - I just don’t anymore. Plaxo reminds me of my contacts’ birthdays and then gives me the tools to send the cards on that specific day or ahead of time, using the information that’s already on Plaxo. No re-entering email addresses or birth dates.

Back ups are important. It’s important to keep your contact information safe, and in more than one place so that valuable info is protected in case your computer crashes, your building burns down or your system is hacked. Creating easy to access back up info is just plain smart.

Plaxo help's you transfer those contact, seamlessly. If you’re building your contacts in a database other than your own, you need to make sure you can access those same contacts easily from other places. Use Plaxo a lead role in Portable Contacts across many/all platforms so that in the future, you can access the networks you build on all your social network sites, in one place.
