Hi all,

Joe Bartling here. My main blog is Spiderware.Com
http://www.spiderware.com, "A blog about social, economic and
spiritual networking". I've just started posting articles again,
mostly specific to LinkedIn. Last year, I blogged quite a bit about
networking in multiple aspects of life, which is the theme of my blog.
I believe that through developing relationships with people through
networking and applying ACTION to it, the world can be made a better
place.

I've made the case about how networking can open up the hope of
adoption to many children in the country of South Africa, where there
are 1,400,000 orphans. I have made the case that networking can help
prevent and cure blindness around the world: Did you know that 80% of
blindness in the world is either curable or preventable? Did you know
that effective networking can transform the inner city, giving hope to
otherwise isolated bright stars with vision and hope, but having no
one to share it the vision with.

Anyway, I hope you'll visit my blog and add it to your blogroll and
your newsfeed.

Thanks to Des for his kind words and invitation, and good luck with
this new Forum! Let's relate!
