Networking News

In the past networking news was gathered via social pages, company newsletters or small announcements about Chamber of Commerce Business meet-ups.  The ability to stay in touch was a relatively simple matter. A perusal of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and your trade associations’ periodicals usually sufficed.

Organizing Your Networking News

Today the options available for the executive or entrepreneur to stay plugged into their networking news pertaining to their particular industry are almost overwhelming.

Time is of the essence and it is important to be able to access the networking news relevant to your specific inquiries quickly.  There are a variety of tools on the internet that can streamline the process of organizing your networking news.

Networking news is most readily and easily available by subscribing to the news feeds of your most valued online publications and web sites.  Networking news services can come in a variety of bundles.

Many people maintain an ala carte approach when organizing their networking news services.  For instance, Google, Yahoo, and newer configurations such as Page Flakes can be organized to host all of your networking news feeds.  Google Reader enables easy RSS subscription to your networking news feeds and presents them all on one "Google Reader" page.

One Click Access to All Networking News

Dividing your networking news by topic, deliverable to specific files, accessible on one page is another expedient method of organizing all of your networking news.  The idea is to create a one click access to all of your networking news feeds.

Page Flakes is one application that allows the user to create as many tabbed pages on a personal home page as they have topics that they wish to monitor.  These pages can host the networking news feeds that pertain strictly to that area of business or study.  For instance, a realtor might have one page supplied by networking news feeds strictly relating to real estate, another page dedicated to finance, another page dedicated to builders and one for construction news.

You can also have your networking news delivered to your Outlook email accounts and file each feed according to its topic matter.  Google and Yahoo alerts allow you to create your own specific network news feeds by allowing you to subscribe to phrases or keywords.  Many companies subscribe to their companies name or product line to keep an eye on it's online reputation.
