Hi Mike, As an example nearly all of Steve Collins' speaking gigs are through social networking sites such as the ones he mentions.
Others which both Steve & I use are tripit and dopplr, these are fantastic for coordination travel with like minded souls. I have driven attendance at events and even used these tools for recruitment. The key is to use the ones which can be pulled into a single useable interface like ical, that way you don't spend a heap of time keeping everything up to date. For example if you use tripit to plan a trip, you can email your itinerary and wotif bookings to tripit, you subscribe to your tripit feed through dopplr, dopplr sucks up trip information and updates it in real time from tripit. You can then coordinate with people within your network who may be travelling to the same city as you at the same time :) Cheers, R On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 3:43 PM, Mike Kear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thats very thoughtful Rae, and thanks for that.
