By GLEN GOULD, Southeast Bureau Chief

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.

A lot behind the scenes has been going on for the networking group BIZNIK, whose tagline is: Networking that Doesn’t Suck.
