Do I have time for all this networking?
So, I've joined Marcom professional - though I have to admit I am not sure why. I guess it's mainly to make sure I'm not missing out - but I'm not entirely sure I have enough of a life to spread so thinly over so many social networks.
What makes this network stand out over all the others, bearing in mind I think I have pretty much everyone I know on one or the other network. I look forward to finding out...

Hi Henry,
There's more than enough on the big WWW to keep you occupied we know; and then there's the real world too!
Seriously, we identified a need for a social professional network because there was no existing destination that aimed to bring all this stuff together from the people at the coal face, no meeting place where marcom professionals could discover new faces and points of view in this fast changing and surprising market.
We think MarCom Professional is a rich opportunity for in-house and agency people to share opinion and perspectives, combined with insights and bold questions from academia and students alike. Combine this with the ability to form communities about whatever takes your fancy and making posts about your favourite restaurants and venues from a marketing communications perspective (ie, client meetings and events), then members can enjoy themselves as well as communicate and learn.
The perspectives are endless. We've spoken with people who have always been agency-side that want to know what it's really like in-house; and we've spoken with students and marcom professionals in their first year or two wanting to find answers to burning questions. Hopefully, as this community burgeons, they will find what they need here.
Looking at your website at Tamar.com, perhaps you'd add something about search conversion strategy; at least I'm guessing that might be a contributing reason to your joining the network ;-) With Google Map pointers for every organisation represented on MarCom Professional, we envisage making it easy for prospective customers to find you contextually and geographically.
Welcome aboard.
