Good Morning all!  I have been doing quite a bit of research and spending time on social networking sites such as active rain, twitter, and so on.  I wanted to step out of the box a little and find some new ones that you may build a niche in before they got TOO big.  Here is a list of 10 that are making waves:

1. Entrepreneur Connect – Started by Entrepreneur magazine this one is specifically for entrepreneurs and small business owners.   You can use this to connect to vendors and service providers.

2. Partner up – This is a social network for entrepreneurs who are searching for people with business opportunities. There is a lean towards commercial real estate  on this one, but it is much more.

3. Start up nation – really creative and a bit more user friendly. Lots of forums, blogs, and podcasts.

4. LinkedIn – Can’t leave this one off any list. Large following and can be used to find a job, build a network, or brand yourself.

5. Biznik – Brands itself as the “social network that doesn’t suck” ahha.  Good place to share ideas

And to finish out the list

6. Perfect Business – This one will be one to watch

7. Go Big Network

8. Cofoundr

9. TheFunded

10. Young Entrepreneur

I look forward to seeing you in one of these soon!
