Social Networking = Free Money

Seriously people. The social networking craze has gotten out of control. There is now a facebook fan page for everything. Even my favorite egg and cheese bagel sandwich has a fan page. And Clark Griswold. Pretty soon ostriches will have their own fan pages and twitter feeds and maybe sell some stuff on etsy.com. Or maybe not.

But (there's always a but) here's one social networking site that will earn you some cold hard cash. Or at least some plastic. The caveat is that you have to be a member of the AAP. So mom, while I appreciate you faithfully following my blog, the rest of this post will not apply to you. Go put your feet up.

Here's the deal:
Log onto the YP Connection website and create a profile (just like facebook)
For the next 7 weeks, you will be awarded points for logging in, joining a group, leaving a comment on a blog post, etc.
The first week the person who gains the most points by being active on the site will get at $50 American Express gift card. The awards will increase each week and the final week the grand prize will be a $400 Am Ex gift card.

Can it get any better than that?! Well, yes it can. The ultimate reward is that you will have become an active member of the Young Physician community and networked your way across the country. Maybe you'll find a new job, a new book or a new 'special someone'. But you'll never know if you don't check it out. Check it out.
