CULVER CITY, CA – As the online social network landscape becomes increasingly crowded and noisy, many folks looking to promote their talents, goods and services are left to wonder if the scene has become too diluted to connect directly with their specific audiences. While the minute-by-minute update format allows for a constant communication flow to a selected group, important information can become easily lost among the great wall of chatter.
“Social networks like Upcrowd.com, Facebook and Myspace are great because they allow individuals to reach into a wide open universe and find common interests among many different people, as well as make new friends and discover new interests,” acknowledges Metra Lynn Eves, founder of [TheHeARTofSoul.com]
TheHeARTofSoul.com by all accounts is a collection of sub-networks within a larger network. The sub-networks include writers and poets, photographers, musicians, performing artists, visual artists and commerce. Members sign up and select their community involvement by indication which of the above categories they belong to.

Says Eves, “We feel strongly that encouraging individuals to pursue artistic endeavors will likely lead to many major discoveries of brilliant artists who may otherwise go unrecognized.”
Sheila Vanderkam, the self-published author of Those Who Trespass Against Us realized the challenge of trying to market a book without the support of a major publishing house. “When you self-publish, you’re typically on a race against the clock and a shoe string budget,” she gripes. “I find that the social network platform has given me the most traction in this area. The platform of TheHeARTofSoul.com is perfectly suited for authors like me looking to connect directly with my target audience, without having to sift through the throng that other networks have become.”
“Any time creative people come together in a common setting; there are mutual benefits that ultimately lead to the whole becoming even greater than the sum of its parts, says Eves. “Anyone involved in a project of any meaningful magnitude will, at some point, look to others to contribute their talents toward their greater vision.”
Finding the right people is not easy, and in fact, can be the hardest component of the task. “Building a talent-rich resource from which the most creative among us can pull is the number one aim and mission of this website,” according to Eves.
