Tired of Twitter? 2OO,000 executives choose business over social

PRLog (Press Release) - May 08, 2009 -
‘Social networking sites are great to catch-up with old friends, share photographs, music and links but in this climate does the executive community have time for this?’ Asked Spencer Green CEO of MeettheBoss.com - the business networking service. ’’Credit isn’t the only casualty of the crunch: time is another scarce resource for executives, they need immediate value when online’’ and reports show he is right with 200,000 executives flooding to his business site for answers.

MeettheBoss.com first launched for the financial services sector in Q3 of 2008 and has just unveiled a new and improved version (to launch May 11th 2009)– redesigned with increased functionality and features, and specifically launched to aid all professionals.
MeettheBoss.com 2.0 has acted on the feedback from its core users to make sure that their time ‘on site’ is maximized. “We have added the functionality they wanted and kept the best of what we already offered: instant access to a network of your peers.” Harlan Davis one of the site’s directors.

Rolling out with the new version is an upgraded version of MeettheBossTV, the online television channel dedicated to business leaders.

Members can pick up leadership lessons and business learning from: Vinton Cerf, vice president of Google and ‘father’ of the Internet; Werner Vogels, CTO and vice president for online retail giant and web services supremo, Amazon; Manfred Fitzgerald, head of brand and design and super-sportscar manufacturer Lamborghini; Gary Steel, EVP and head of Human Resources at engineering giant ABB, and; Tony Hsieh, CEO of US retail rocket, Zappos.com and perhaps the sharpest customer service innovator in America today.

Amongst the sites other new features are free video roundtable functionality, a fully searchable whitepaper module, and most importantly, ‘smartwords’ – an intelligent spine around which the whole site sits.“MeettheBoss.com was built on an ever-expanding database of keywords, dedicated to specific industries,” explains Harlan. “A very cool new central console ‘feeds’ members specific content, people, and broadcasts based on their activity across the site – from the weather, to tweets, industry blogs, contacts, and news from the individual users favourite newspaper. Smartwords means you get everything in one place, quickly and easily. And if you want to connect with a network of your peers, or join in a peer-led discussion group, well, you can do that too. It’s the ultimate aggregator”

It seems like sites such as MeettheBoss are the future of Web 2.0. - Well 200,000 executive members seem to agree. To find out more go to www.meettheboss.com
