More and more social networking websites are popping up online everyday, but an interesting new twist on social networking is coming from established businesses adding a social networking component to their existing websites. Fast Company is one of the most recent entrants into the social web by adding a new Business Network to its existing website where users can publish blog posts on the Fast Company website, participate in forums and ask and answer questions.

I wrote an interesting post for Buzz Networker that was published today called Fast Company Joins the Social Networking Bandwagon which describes Fast Company’s Business Network in more detail.

I think new social websites like this could create great networking opportunities for business people, particularly ones that are so heavily focused directly on business such as Fast Company’s Business Network. What do you think?
