SchmoozeMonger

Dan Limbach's SchmoozeMonger site is the ultimate Web portal for networking. The site's design is attractively retro and the content is written in an amusing, breezy style. According to SchmoozeMonger, the site covers:

• Meeting the right people
• Attending events which will grease the wheels of your goals
• Joining the appropriate groups for your passions
• Finding the best resources available
• Feeding your brain a healthy dose of knowledge whenever possible
• The buzz flowing through the economy's nooks and crannies
• A bit of humor to keep it all in perspective

Just to illustrate the site's irreverent style, here's its characterization of what it does NOT cover:

• News for news' sake
• Venture capital deals
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Which company is taking a nosedive
• Dating tips
• How to lance a boil
• What's going on in Survivor, the TV show
• Whether "Less filling" beats "Tastes great"

The site offers the opportunity to subscribe to the "Schmoozeletter." There's also a Resource Center for "our favorite links", and the Learning Center "for ways to chock your head full o' knowledge."
