These days, you gotta have an email account. It’s simply the way the world communicates. Whether you’re looking for a job, trying to find out information, or just keeping in touch with friends, you need email.

Facebook is a great way to find old friends and meet new ones. It’s fun to see what everyone’s doing and let them know what’s up with you. Once you start “friending” people you’ll be able to keep up with things like when they write a new blog post or update their profile or add photos.

Thanks to Twitter you can share short updates about your life and follow the updates of people, topics and organizations that matter to you. Twitter may seem silly at first. Like, who cares that you just saw a dachshund cross the street or that you are having baloney for lunch?! But within the circle of “tweeters” you’ll create, people will be talking about what matters to you.

You have something to say, and blogs provide a place to say it and be heard. Many blogs are written to help people who may be going through similar situations. Or maybe you’d like to blog about a personal interest or hobby. Maybe you’d like to influence political change. Truth is, the path to blogging success is to simply blog for you. Write about what makes you happy and the challenges you face every day. The rest will take care of itself.
