eWomenNetwork Inspires Attendees
It bills itself as "the #1 resource for connecting and promoting women and their businesses on both a local and global scale" and one would be hard pressed to argue the point. eWomenNetwork is the most popular networking website for women, reaching nearly 5 million women every month.
Northwest-Based Group BIZNIK Goes Global - New Site & First Conference
A lot behind the scenes has been going on for the networking group BIZNIK, whose tagline is: Networking that Doesn’t Suck. Their mission: A Business Building Social Network for Independent Professionals. I wrote about this group some time ago, and continue to be amazed by their creativity, initiative, response to customer feedback, and for turning the idea of networking on its ear.
This month I turn my attention to presidential politics – the 2008 election is closer than you think, especially with all the Democrat and Republican primaries stacked in January and February of next year. There have already been several debates among the announced candidates from both parties. A few things are especially unique about the 2008 presidential election though.
Can You Generate a Network by Simply Creating a Space?
The internet is changing. People are communicating online as never before. One of the primary means of communication is through something called a blog.
According to Technorati data, there are over 175,000 new blogs created every day. Bloggers update their blogs regularly to the tune of over 1.6 million posts per day, or over 18 updates a second!
I've always been a proponent of networking as, not just a business development tool, but a way of life, way of relating to the people around you and a tool for creating greater good for our world. In fact, I first learned about the power of networking many years ago when I was the executive director of the Center for Attitudinal Healing. We provided support for children with catastrophic illnesses and their families. And we "had to" network all the time for everything. The idea of asking people to give, help, and be a resource became just a natural part of our way of thinking, relating and communicating. And I saw, over and over, the value that people received from getting involved – just because we asked.
Made in America
If your business is located in the U.S., use that information to your networking advantage – it’s a big plus with your compatriots. Provide high quality products and services even if they might be obtained internationally. Be competitive and blatantly appeal to patriotism and supporting local businesses in order to build more viable and vibrant communities where you stand, strengthening your business in the process.

This Week in TNNW...
Relationships = Economy
Remember the "good old days" of relationship networking when the "good old boys clubs" ruled the roost and consisted of small, established, yet locally-powerful business owners? Or when large corporations looked at "networking" with disdain and mistrust? Unless you have been living under a rock, this is all changing and at break-neck speed. Relationship (or "social") networking is coming into its own and gaining acceptance as an industry, especially from larger mainstream corporations....more
Would You Like To Connect To 28,000 Movers and Shakers?How do you connect up with a network of 28,000 hi-tech movers and shakers? The fastest way is an e-mail to my buddy Barry Gander at the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATA).
Businesses for Social Responsibility
This month we’d like to highlight a special networking organization: New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility. Their mission is to build and support a network of businesses committed to adopting socially responsible business practices, recognizing that people, principles and profits are inseparably linked.
Interview with Joseph P. Cool, President of Cool & Associates, Inc
While working to build the SEA Bureau, I was introduced to Joseph P. Cool of Cool & Associates out of Waterford, Michigan. One might ask why a guy from Malaysia who is supposed to report on networking in Southeast Asia is doing talking with a professional from Michigan, USA. Simple…Joe has lived and worked in 54 countries and is the resident multi-cultural advisor to the Relationship Networking Industry Association (RNIA). Since Joe has had extensive experience in my part of the world, he would be a great person with whom to speak. The following is our interview:
About six years ago I was involved with a web project where the designer was talking about "breadcrumbs." The phrase sounded familiar to me but I couldn’t remember what they were. The designer explained that it was simply a trail of where you had been on a website, and you could see the trail of pages you had been on (which all linked back to their respective pages). It was a simple idea but really useful for our website visitors, to help them not get lost as they got deeper and deeper into our website.
