Online networking services such as LinkedIn and Biznik offer entrepreneurs and business owners a great way to connect with others in the industry, find work, or even find employees or collaborators.
LinkedIn appears to be based on the Six Degrees of Separation concept, keeping you apprised of your connections, their connections, their connections connections, etc. It becomes easy to get introduced or recommended, or you can search for fellow employees or old classmates. If people in your network are hiring, you can see this in your member panel. Got questions? LinkedIn has Answers. Just ask, and one or more members will likely answer.
Biznik
Biznik’s social network was once Seattle-based, but just relaunched with new features and a wider geographic scope. Thanks to location-aware features, online meetings can turn into event planning. Other new features include messaging and business referrals.
These are merely two of many online networks, though these are probably most suited to business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs.
Hi Dan, thanks for the comment and the compliment, though I’m not sure I did justice to either. I’m much more familiar with LinkedIn, but hopefully as I learn more about Biznik, I can do a more comprehensive profile of its benefits, as I think it holds much value for intended readers of this blog.
Gani, thanks for the insight. I have used Ning but not Konnects. I’ll have to check it out.
