NAM has had its own pages on these sites since September in an attempt to show high school- and college-aged students how interesting and lucrative a career in the manufacturing industry can be, according to Nathan Koble, director of Internet strategies for NAM.

"We wanted to let young people know that manufacturing is not a dead industry, and there are a lot of exciting opportunities out there if you get into manufacturing," Koble says.

The organization's page features 18 "Cool Stuff Being Made" videos, including two videos - "How Glass is Made" and "How Duct Tape is made" - that solicited 30,000 views in one weekend, according to Koble.

For a site whose largest demographic of viewers by age is 12 to 17, according to Nielsen/Net Ratings, that could lead to a number of future manufacturers entering the industry."A lot of times, social networking sites are the domain of popular culture," Koble says.
