Professional Online Networking Revolution!

Someone’s gotta say it and its gonna be me: Professional networking online doesn’t work! Either you already know the people your connecting with on Linkedin, or your a recruiter looking for “passive talent.”

When is there going to be a platform that actually connects people? A site that helps people engage with other link minded professionals? No, I am not talking about a niche site for lawyer or doctors, which essentially uses the same tools as larger sites, thus fostering the same behaviors and lame community’s as the broader professional networks. I am talking about a site that actually helps you engage others in conversation! YES, actual networking!

How about a community that can chat real time, like twitter but with a subject matter that’s just for professionals? Or maybe a NING.com for professionals?
