Hey! Want to bid on a ready-made social networking group/site that you can step into and take to the “next level”? It’s an interesting concept and I’m anxious to see what happens on the innovative eBay auction of “HRM Today” starting on Wednesday, August 5. The bidding starts at $0 and will last ten days and includes http://hrmtoday.com, http://blogs.hrmtoday.com, and http://network.hrmtoday.com, along with archived user data. There will be no reserve.
Laurie Ruettimann and her partner Lance Haun started the site last year – it has 1,200 members along with a LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter presence that includes over 1,700 followers.
Good luck Lance and Laurie!
