Some will allow you to bring in external content to help build your profile and others won’t. Each have their own unique way to keep in touch with people, some through profiles only, and others through mobile status updates like Twitter. So, it can be a little daunting to give one technical way to use all social networking sites. However, the strategy is still the same for most:
Set up a profile with your website links, and develop an online, authentic, personality. Invite friends you already know to link to you, Look at their friends list and see if you have mutual friends you can invite to link in to you.
