Taking the Private Club Online
Though “phenomena” is a word often used to describe “social networking”, the only thing phenomenal about it is the Internet’s interpretation of it. For as long as mankind have had ideas to communicate, groups have formed for the purpose of interacting around a common cause, to promote the community’s interests or to create an environment within which to advance business.
Be it the relatively informal gatherings who rent a back room at the local pub, or the “giants of industry” gathered at gentlemen’s’ clubs complete with wait staff and sifters of brandy, businessmen have always found a means by which to congregate for the purpose of expanding upon and promoting their interests.
If MySpace is the online equivalent of the local pub, Madison Who’s Who has translated the “gentleman’s club” into an online networking powerhouse. Madison Who’s Who has taken it’s leather bound registry of accomplished executives and professionals online, exponentially expanding their members’ means to interact and gain exposure.
Not content with merely having an Internet presence, Madison Who’s Who have accomplished the time honored tradition of providing more “bang for the buck” for every membership dollar spent by incorporating blog marketing and RSS publishing as additional enhancements.
Members are now able to share information in the privacy of their forum, post items on the bulletin board, keep up with activities via RSS feeds and stay informed and entertained on the Madison Who’s Who blog. Though they haven’t found a way to provide an online sifter of brandy, Madison Who’s Who have proven their dedication to their membership by taking their leather bound book of professionals out of the library and into the new millennium.
