Biztropolis: Able to Scale Small (Business) Buildings in a Single Click

In our business, early adoption of social media mechanisms is key to staying on the cutting-edge of relevance. Speaking from experience as a full-time teleworker, I know the value that social networks bring to my professional – and personal – community. The connections that are made, and maintained, online are invaluable to today’s success.

Apptix, a SpeakerBox client, friend and partner, has recently launched Biztropolis, a social network to connect small businesses, of all industries. Creatively built upon the premise of Apptix’s value proposition – hosted services power IT Guys to Superhero status – Biztropolis is designed to create synergies between real people at small businesses, regardless of industry or rank. By devising a place for small businesses to connect and share information, Biztropolis creates a much-needed niche community. All Americans are aware of and affected by the economic crisis to some degree; for small businesses grappling with shrinking budgets, no time is better than the present to share best practices, ideas and strategies for survival.

If you are a member of a small business, I encourage you to become a “citizen” of this community today.
