Social Networking, before Facebook...

So recently, I've been introduced to the social network before the internet...Actual networking groups.

BNI, TEAM, Chamber of Commerce.  As a casual consumer, I didn't know that these organizations existed. As a freelance (well, sorta freelance) social media manager/specialist for business owners, this place is the place to meet and greet, toss your name around and be found in the business world. My guess is that if they knew how to connect to others online, they wouldn't be at these meetings.  However, I must also say, that the power of face to face and the almighty handshake is much more effective than a great headshot online.

A big thumbs up, but memberships fees are almost a turnoff. Almost...

More information as I get it.
