4 Awesome Network building Games
Building your online network doesn't have to be such a tedious task. We might try following thousands of people, hoping for a few followers in return. Or commenting all over the web to get link-backs. But not everyone is patient enough for all of that, or even like it at all.
From trying out close to a hundred different methods of online networking, traffic building, getting followers etc. here are five sites/tools that are really cool, and can be useful as well!
This is a game of fantasy stock exchange, where you sell shares in your company or name, and buy shares in others.

For example I bought stocks in some big companies that joined and got mentioned on Twitter. =D
You link up your Youtube Video, Twitter account or Facebook page and earn "Seeds" for actions you do, like watching another persons video, or liking their page. Then you spend seeds on getting followers or viewers on your Twitter, FB, or YT.
