Re-Introducing ShoutYard

Thanks Eric. Hey, if its unclear, its unclear. :)

We quickly realized that in trying to get a business off the ground there are tons of things people need, and tons of people, people need. We can't help you with the things. But maybe we, and other readers out there, can help you with the "people" part.

SO basically, if there's a contact that you need - shout it out (or leave us a comment and we'll shout it out on the blog). If you're cruising the "ShoutYard" and you come across a shout for someone that you know (or may know through some other degrees), leave us a comment and we'll shout it out. So basically we're using the 6 degrees of separation to get people in contact with the people they need.

You Say: But what about linkedin?

We Say: LinkedIn is a bunch of people looking for jobs and alums from their college. And linkedin isn't totally viable for the "unknown" entrepreneur. We like shoutyard better because it relies on the itty-bitty teeny-weeny (but growing) community we have here. And ShoutYard doesn't have all these crazy membership restrictions (HAHA) because we're not trying to make money off you trying to make connections. At least not yet. :)

So give it a try. Leave us a comment if you need/know someone.

ShoutYard! Shout and ShoutBack!

I totally appreciate that you would try to help other entrepreneurs. We should all try to help each other when we can. If there's anything I can ever do to help either of you, you should give ME a shout. Thanks.

Gentle Tip - glad you like. Keep checking back.

Hmm... a site that gives people the ability to send anonymous emails? "Muahahahaha!" Could be dangerous if this fell into the hands of the some wrong people.

Steve - no man is an island (is that how the saying goes?).

In other words, we get nowhere on our own and somewhere using who/what other people know. We're hoping maybe we can provide a platform for people to do the same.

Putting the link to who ever is shouting a need, will make it more efficient than posting a shoutout and hoping everyone has time to get back to check and re-check the comments to be able to connect.
