Users are flocking to sites such as &lt;a href="http://www.octopuscity.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.octopuscity.com"&gt;www.octopuscity.com&lt;/a&gt; that offer a business network tied in with free business services like CRM, contact management and teleconferencing, and companies are adapting to their presence rather than vice-versa.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Josh Aronowitz</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:41:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: LinkedIn launches platform &amp;#8212; a better business social network</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2007/12/09/linkedin-launches-platform-redesign-a-better-business-social-network/#comment-14681080</link><description>&lt;p&gt;GOOD DAY,&lt;br&gt;         THIS IS THE TIME FOR US TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL.

Social platforms encourage communication, networking, sharing ideas and productivity and this all leads to an positive effect on sales and satisfaction amongst staff and customers. &lt;a href="http://www.brandstation.tv/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.brandstation.tv/"&gt;http://www.brandstation.tv/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Henry</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2008 06:15:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: LinkedIn launches platform &amp;#8212; a better business social network</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2007/12/09/linkedin-launches-platform-redesign-a-better-business-social-network/#comment-14681078</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Here are is a flash course I have developed that shows how to use LinkedIn to generate revenues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It assumes you already know how to create a profile - but want to acccess your network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have had several LinkedIn people review it, but I am looking for a few important bloggers as well.

I use it every day. Currently, I'm creating some new groups and finding new ones to join. I've met a lot of great business contacts and as my network grows I'm finding more useful. I'm an open networker and happen to own a staffing company but my network and community on LI has extended far beyond my current staffing business. I also do some real estate investing and my LI network helped me locate a good real estate broker in the area I was looking. It also helped me find a reputable SEO company. I'm sure there are a ton of everyday uses that one could reach out to their network and get some help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeff Weidner&lt;br&gt;Yes I'm an open networker&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;jeffweidnerlinkedin@gmail.com&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jeff Weidner</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:44:37 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: LinkedIn launches platform &amp;#8212; a better business social network</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2007/12/09/linkedin-launches-platform-redesign-a-better-business-social-network/#comment-14681076</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I am a LinkedIN member and am curious to play with the Business Week feature, however I cannot find it anywhere.
