Here are the six ways to win with Facebook:

Android Apps for Business Professionals and Entrepreneurs:
After reading the article “15 Awesome Android Apps for Small Business“ [SproutSocial.com], I learned about these great apps that you should check out on the Android Marketplace:
- Cloud Print - Need to print a document from your Android device? No problem. Use the free app.
NOTE: If you want to print from ANY smartphone (including Android phones), I would recommend investing in a new HP wireless printer with ePrint technology.
With ePrint technology, you can send an e-mail to the Web-connected printer and attach a Microsoft Office file, PDF document, or photo from any smartphone, tablet or computer from practically anywhere.
To learn more about HP Web-connected printers with ePrint, check out their website.
2. Droid Scan Pro - scan documents on the go, or turn photos of notes into PDF documents.
3. PocketCloud Remote RDP/VNC - Connect your Android device to your Windows or Mac OS desktop computer, and remotely control and access the data on your desktop at anytime, from any place.
4. CamCard - With CamCard, you can scan business cards and save them directly to your contacts list, so you don’t have to type a thing.
Niche Social Networks for Business Professionals and Entrepreneurs:
After reading the list of Social Networking sites from “36 Leading Social Networking Sites for Business Professionals and Entrepreneurs You May Not Know“ [Mark the Marketer], I found these to be the most interesting:
