Category Spotlight: Social Networks

Monday, July 27th, 2009

I thought it would be appropriate that since we are now living in an age of social networking, that I would bring our directory’s category of social networks to your attention.

Social networking, along with social media, are becoming such an integral, powerful, and useful tool in the world of online business today. These methods are a great way to interact with customers, along with promoting new products and ideas from your company. Even though sites like Facebook and Twitter dominate the social networking world, there are actually other social networks out there to help boost the visibility of your business online and to keep up with user/customer relations.

With this in mind, the WebProNews eBusiness Directory has comprehensive listings of these user-submitted social networks within our Social Networks category that is located under our Social Media category, which can be found on our directory’s front page.

If you have a social network that you would like to see visible in our social networking listings, please feel free to submit its URL via our quick-and-easy submission form. Inclusion of your social network into our directory is free of charge with thanks to advertising, and once your social networking site has become live in our directory, you will recieve a prompt notification of its location.

Do you have any comments/suggestions/inquries regarding our social networking category or any of our other categories on our quality directory? Please contact me via our contact form and I will gladly take attention to any questions that you may have.

Category Spotlight: Travel Arrangements

Friday, July 17th, 2009

It is getting to be that time of the year where employees are starting to take their vacation time, along with trips and conferences related to their business. With this in mind, I would like to bring your attention to our directory’s Travel Arrangements category. This is a category where you can find sites to make your travel plans seamless, such as transportation and hotels.

This category is located under the Conferences category which can be found on the main page of our site. The advantages of browsing through the Travel Arrangements category prior to your next conference/vacation are:

  • To find different alternatives than the tv-advertised Expedia, Orbitz, etc.
  • To support other WebProNews eBusiness Directory submitters by visiting their site in this niche.
  • To browse travel arrangement sites that are more suited to your needs and region.

A Twellow Update

Monday, July 13th, 2009

It has been a while since I discussed iEntry/WebProNews‘ quality directory of Twitter users, so I thought I would give you an update of what has been happening and added since my last report.

If you do not know what I am referring to, Twellow is a free, B2B-oriented Twitter directory that organizes its users by common interest/niche. This service also has a feature named TwellowHood where users can search for people near where they live with aid of a visual map.

Here are some features that have recently been integrated into Twellow:

  • Searchable Categories – Whenever you search for people using a topic (e.g. SEO), Twellow will also suggest categories relating to your search query under the Possible Category Matches section on the right-hand side of the user search results. This is a great way to find other users that may be relating to what you are looking for and also to keep up with their trends as well.

  • Extended Profile Formatting – Now, when you edit your extended profile in Twellow, you may use a series of HTML tags to help format the look and presentation of your extended bio on your profile. This is a great benefit if you want to link to an external site from your profile, as well as accentuating certain words or areas of your bio. You can always modify your profile by clicking on the Profile Editor tab that is located on the top right-hand side of our site or by going to http://www.twellow.com/edit in the Location bar your browser.

If you have any comments or questions regarding Twellow, please feel free to contact me via the WebProNews eBusiness Directory Contact Page, and I would be glad to answer any inquiry that you may have concerning our quality Twitter user directory.
