This is for my growing group of friends at Amplify.com or anyone curious to check out a fast growing and innovative social networking site. Many great ideas have come up and we’ve had some amazing discussions as a result. For the people who are just joining us, here are a few things that are available to make the experience better:
Joe’s Amplify List on Listorious – if you’re not on the list @hackmanj on Twitter, comment on this post, or use the recommend someone on Listorious. Here is the original post that started the ball rolling on this, thanks to @socialsprouts if you see anyone that is not representing good netiquette that is on this list, please let me know so I can either warn or remove them.
It would be great if more of our fellow Amplify.com users joined us via the LinkedIn group.

Hey Joe –
Thx for including my post in your resource list; I like what you've done as well.
Best,
Eric
Glad you enjoy the list Eric. I am always on the lookout for more quality posts on the subject. Keep them coming.
I wonder if there is any way to break the connection between my Amplify-account, and my Facebook-account??
For example I do not wish to have my FB-profile picture showing up on my Amplify-account, changing with whatever I do on FB.
I simply want the two of them to behave SEPARATE and can not seem to find any way to make that happen!
Could you help me on how to solve this matter, please…?
mia;)
Hi mia, please contact Eric at Amplify dot com. He says he can help you with this and if he can’t no-one can! 🙂
I sent an Email on your behalf and he responded asking me to have you contact him.
Have a great day,
Joe
Thanks for including my blog on your list Joe – I made it at number 10 too – my favourite number 🙂
Congratulations on the #10 spot! 🙂
