Sprouting your Business
A Canadian company has launched a social networking site called “Sprouter“ designed for entrepreneurs to connect, share ideas, experiences and exchange information in an online community. The concept is similar to Facebook, except the Sprouter will be a social site dedicated only to entrepreneurs, thereby reducing the noise from the rest of the social networking world.
Users register by creating a profile and sign in to connect with other members in the same business, same locale, or similar businesses in a different locale. Users can also engage in different discussions on the site’s forum and share experiences.
Sprouter is currently funded by angel investors and its current priority is to build the site’s user base. It has yet to determine the business model for generating revenues and will be looking to partnerships with small business associations as potential source of revenues.
So, to all the entrepreneurs with a time-deficit, this is another chance to network from the comfort of your chair.

A very good tool for businessmen to check whether they are on track or on the correct path or not.

This seems like something for the business types to interact in a friendly way instead of going to facebook or myspace and having people pester you with childish post.
This was a interesting post.
