This website is a combination of aspects from both Facebook and Twitter, but for business. B is an online office and social networking website for business. linkedin.com and zoho.com both charge monthly fee's and they aren't that user friendly

This website is pretty cool, it allows people to create conference rooms that are password protected so that businesses can divide up up and control different departments all in one spot.

So sick! Facebook for business

I was skeptical at first to join this sight because it was rather new and obscure, but I was looking for an alternative to linked in because i didn't want to keep paying for their services, but I am extremely happy with my choice to try "B". Not only is there service free, but it is also better then linked in. A user can send files through their chat function, which I think is really handy and eliminates the need for me to check my email. Also, there is a confrence room feature which allows the user to break up their contacts into groups of people and chat with them at the same time. So in theory a teacher could use it to split up his/her classes and send out specific messages for each class or a CEO of a company could use it to split up the different departments of his/her company.

Also, they have a classified section so you can search for new jobs and employees. It is similar to craiglist, but it increases the legitimacy of it because you can see which user posted the classified.

The last thing I want to mention is the "create a business" section they have on their website. It shows anyone in any state the links the must follow to legally set up a business and I think that is exactly what we need in this economy to encourage growth.

In conclusion, check it out. You're gonna like it.
