INTERNET MARKETING

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered somewhere. I did search but couldn't find anything.

Are there any sites around where people with different entrepreneurial talents can hook up? I guess, kind of like a myspace for entrepreneurs with a member search function? I'm constantly looking for programmers, designers, etc., and it sure would be nice to find a group already in place. Message forums like this are fantastic, but no real way to look for people with specific sets of skills.

  I do not know exactly what you have in mind but you can check out elance.com which is a popular outsourcing resource. There has been a few discussions about using them, both pro and con. Research them before you decide to go that route.
  
  Another good site to check out is LinkedIn.com. Members list their specialty on the profile which then can be pulled up in a user search on the site.
  
  Those are just a few that are out there.

  Thanks, Cal. I've used LinkedIn with very limited success. I'll definately give elance.com a try. I'd like something where I can put in a bunch of search criteria and have it return a list of people whose profiles I can review and contact if they look promising.
  
  Thanks

  Thanks for those suggestions, Michael. As I said, I'm already in LinkedIn but haven't found it very easy to search. Wasn't familiar with ecademy and just signed up. Seems heavily European/UK and a bit complicated to use. Have you had any luck hooking up with people on ecademy or any of those other sites?
  
  Thanks

  This site is for Small business. I ran into it yesterday not sure if it is any good but it was recommended on a times article.
  
  APSense - Business Social Network
  
  Stay clear of LinkedIn. It is a flawed concept - if more the 3 people you contact mark you as "i don't know this person" they will suspend your account. How can you expand your network with a rule like that? It is rather a very awkward way to stay in contact with your existing members. Don't bother with the monthly membership and Inmails, they aren't worth it.
  
  IMHO of course.
  
  Thanks

  Took a look at Apsense. Seems very heavy toward the "social" end of things. From their tour, looks like they push the "number of friends" aspect pretty strongly as if the size of your personal network of friends is a key issue. I didn't see any way to do any searches.
  
  I'll try to run down the Direct Match deal and see what they have. Thanks.

  I have had much success with other types of social networking apps, even simple forums, or link directories where people interact, rate, discuss, adds a HUGE STICKY VALUE TO YOUR WEBSITE!
  
  I am literally in the process of setting up a new Social Networking application at my website:
  
  - Pre-Launch Private Free Access : WebDesignHQ Network
  
  It's a combination of Facebook, Twitter, & the Social Bookmarking sites out there.
  
  I would really appreciate anyone checking it out, as I am still configuring/tweaking as we speak.
  
  The site is not live yet, but I would love for anyone to beta-test it out for me.

  P.S. PM me if you want a Social Network Website like this!
  
  Thanks
