Evanston Networking

Why doesn't Evanston have more robust online social networks? Is it because we are too busy or do we just prefer email?

I hope that this new version ofr Evanston Online will change that. One great thing about social networks is that they actually become more functional the more they are subscribed to and used - so assist us in building out Evanston Online by inviting friends, neighbors and colleagues to join and make this as robust as possible.; ▶ Reply to This

I agree this needs to be promoted throughout our community. Do FACEBOOK and TWITTER have that a hold on social networking? Perhaps, but I think this could be a valuable tool for Evanston's retail community, at least. No postings in classifieds or business listings yet...let's go, folks!

I for one find it somewhat laborious to keep up with my Facebook stuff, and rarely have time for the Twitter, Plaxo, Linkedin accounts as well. Having said that I do feel that this is probably going to be the more effective in terms of networking for our business (www.evanstonphoto.com); ▶ Reply to This
