Finally a Network For SMEs!

There is no doubt in the mind of many web-savvy users that social networking sites have made a huge impact in career management and industry hiring practices. According to a major web information company, Alexa.com, social networking sites occupied five of the top fifteen visited websites. A quick search at any of the popular social networking sites (Linkedin, Facebook, and MySpace, etc) will show there are many "super" social linkers who have hundreds (if not thousands) of links within their network. Research has shown that a lower limit of connections makes for better management and more effective utilization of network power. In reality, there are only so many hours in a day and so many work days in a week. So, how does one effectively manage their cultivated online network to their professional advantage?

First things first: online networking should complement existing relationship-building in one's career life.

There may be a tendency for some to see online networking as a quick means to foster professional relationships online but they fail to realize this function should supplement the age-old skill of face-to-face networking.

With online networking environments such as LinkedIn, ZoomInfo and SMEOracle, professionals can now extend their reach and not only create online networking sources but also be a valuable resource to other online professionals.

That's the real power of Online Networking: empowered professionals providing expertise and feedback to peers and novice alike.

SMEOracle is such an environment that provides a bridge between professionals and online communities. SMEs, through SMEOracle, are empowered to engage in networking that allows for strengthening of existing professional ties and the ability to form new relationships and examine the body of work their peers in a more meaningful way.
