The Ecademy Business Network   ( on technology)

For the last few weeks, I have been a member of Ecademy Network.  This is a website which is used by over 42,000 members to network, and get to know people from all over the world.  It is like Friendster but with a business twist.  I am writing about this on technology, because the site does present some very cool technology tools to make it easier as to how to get to know business people worldwide.

You can blog there, you can join clubs, but most of all you can get to know people.  Last October 8, the chairman of Ecademy, Tomas Powers, visited Manila Philippines.  I was fortunate to meet him, and was also selected to deliver the opening remarks.  Since this was for an international audience, I also took the chance to promote Philippine Business.  Click on this link to know more about some of my thoughts on business networks, and also some warm thoughts about doing business in the Philippines.
