This past Wednesday, January 27th, almost 300 people attended a networking event at Emmett’s Ale House in Downers Grove. Networking events are nothing new, but this event was a bit more unique because many of the attendees were members of a LinkedIn.com group called Linked Local West Suburban CHICAGO. Mike Boehler, the group’s founder, wanted to make sure that its members had an opportunity to get out of the cyberworld and into the real world to meet face to face and strengthen relationships. The event was advertised almost exclusively on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, proving once again that social media marketing is a powerful tool.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
