You have probably heard the buzz surrounding “social networking” Websites like Facebook and Twitter.

Since millions of people use these sites, they are a great way to introduce your friends, acquaintances and loved ones to SparkPeople so they can reach their goals!
The easiest way you can help Spread the Spark is to become a fan of our Facebook Page (if you have a Facebook account) and follow SparkPeople's updates on Twitter (if you have a Twitter account).
Don't forget to also become a fan of The Spark, our first ever book!
Even if you're not on Facebook or Twitter yet, you can create a free account on both sites and start Spreading the Spark to your friends by following the tips below.
More about Facebook
