My Latest Venture...I should take a break...;-)))

Its been quite sometime since I wrote anything. After the Magic City Technology Council (http://www.bhm-tc.org), I couldn't find a place to meet Software Professional, share Software Engineering, Technology Business and Management, Career Advancement (while staying in the same job and company of course ;-)) or just get to know what other people are doing in the great big world of technology...as always I am also interested to know what other new ideas are emerging in the adventurous world of Technology Entrepreneurship. So I decided to start something online that will help all of us manage our software related contacts within our industry and even outside (if we want to) and also linkup with opportunities (since every second software professional I've met has got a business idea). So its not a people to people networking as many other websites are doing...its more of a people to opportunity linkup.

The main goal is to cut down many hard and painful steps involved in networking with someone (through an existing networking website) who you think, may have an opportunity for you (or not) and finally realizing it wasn't what you were looking for. In this genius idea (I must say ;-)) opportunities will be clearly defined and you can connect with the opportunities directly and as I wrote earlier would cut down all the painful steps of guessing and assuming....

Now, where I really had to think was the Definition of all the opportunities that people can come linkup with... I have defined some (+ more) and am looking to define as many more as I can...If you have an idea, please email me or write to me and I will add to the web tool we are building...Remember...this is again a free venture that I am taking on...JUST FOR THE SAKE OF SOFTWARE COMMUNITY...

Right now we are at yahoo groups and a very interesting and comprehensive website is being developed by a group of software programmers, including me. You can join here (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/swlinks/) for now and post opportunities or linkup with opportunities. Let me know what you think about it and how we can improve upon the idea...all professionals related to software in ANY WAY can be a past of this group...sales/HR/Tech Support/QA/Developers/Executive or C-Level Management etc...

Let me know what you thing
