We love Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. They’re free and spilling over with traffic. But they’re not built for networking in Austin.

You can try to make them so, but you’ll be swimming against the tide. Facebook is for staying in touch across distances. Linkedin is your resume file. Twitter is for microblogging. They’re not really built for turning the wheel of your network. They are more like spokes.

We are the hub. If better online and offline networking in Central Texas is your goal, start with building an active member presence on NetworkinAustin.com.

We’ll say it again so it sinks in.

No, we don’t say you should ignore the major social networking gorillas. We say you should leverage them strategically.

We overtly help you link up your profile here with your other online places, too. We drive eyeballs and interest momentum to your website, Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin presence like crazy. We want you to tell all your stories.

The synergy that you can create by using us WITH your other online channels is how you can really start fleshing out your professional and personal self to new acquaintances.

It’s not either/or thing.

It’s both.
