For social networking with more of a business focus try LinkedIn.

There are three ways in which LinkedIn can help you and your home business:

1. Re-connect with past and present colleagues
2. Help find new business opportunities
3. Find answers and advice from industry experts

LinkedIn refers to your "professional network" - that's your immediate contacts plus their connections. That way your network quickly grows, as well as through recommendations and referrals. It also allows you to establish new business relationships by joining relevant groups and to pose questions to entire networks, in a way similar to Google and Yahoo! Answers.
