Imagine having access to 1Billion potential customers or even 500 million; what an amazing benefit this would be to Cameron?s Coffee in the world of advertising. There is technology available to give Cameron?s Coffee this type of exposure.

Creating a social networking site is not as easy as joining Facebook or Twitter. In order to start the process of creating a social networking site, an individual needs to come up with a general concept, purpose, and theme of the site. Once an idea is well thought out, the creator will need to consider everything the website will have to offer.
