Everyone wants the hottest and most coveted tech item on the market right now: Apple’s iPad 2. We gave you 10 easy ways to win an iPad back in December, but the regular boring old iPad is so passé. Maybe it’s just outside out of splurging budget, just too soon for an early holiday gift, and the last time you got an Easter present you were 7, and you ate it 30 seconds later. All hope should not be lost, because this also makes iPad 2 one of the most coveted giveaway items on the web. Check out these sites giving away your favorite sequel since Austin Powers Goldmember.

If getting a friend request from the girl who used to torment you in high school or an update every time some goes to the grocery store isn’t your style, it doesn’t mean you still can’t take advantage of social media. While Facebook and Twitter all have their merits, they aren’t for everyone.  The strictly business social networking site LinkedIn can connect you with colleagues, businesses and even land you a job.

For spas and other businesses LinkedIn can be a very valuable tool for networking and keeping up with your current and prospective customers. Below you’ll find dos and don’ts for using this social media tool.

• There are apps for that (promoting your business).
• Nine no-nos for your business.
• Boost your profile.
