Did you know LinkedIn is now a $24 billion company? It’s grown because it WORKS. Have you ever tried job- hunting on there? It’s much better than some of the job-sites that we used to use. It also works because it really makes it easy to connect with fellow professionals and build out a network. After all, that’s really the premise of LinkedIn – connecting with other professionals in your field, your company, or in complementary roles.
Does a networking company grow to a $24 billion valuation because a marketing manager is syncing up with a freelance designer? Does a social media network for professionals grow to become more valuable than The Gap by letting Susan from accounting add Todd from payroll as a contact? Or did LinkedIn become what many social media sites become: a platform for advertising?

If you want to hire someone or find a job, then LinkedIn is a great bet. If you want to discover a new business opportunity and make a real connection with that person, LinkedIn may not be your best option - not all by itself. The problem with LinkedIn is that with the great many updates, the site itself doesn’t seem like it is sure what it wants to be. Perhaps it is trying to compete with other social media sites. In one aspect, it is a social media forum meant to connect other professionals in their field. In another aspect, it is used as a job board - where hungry employers and employees go to seek each other out. This kind of identity crisis can become more of a hindrance than an asset.
PROsimity.com to the rescue
Have you ever considered that a mobile app that not only links to your LInkedin profile and the profile of other people, but also incorporates geo-location might do wonders for your business networking life in REAL TIME in the REAL WORLD? Remember, time is money - whether you are making it or not. You should want technology to serve YOUR NEEDS - not the other way around. For that reason alone, you need to become acquainted with PROsimity.
PROsimity is a single-screen app that offers real-time, location-based networking for professionals. The app is created for conferences, networking events, and trade shows, but is also designed to help users “discover” their next great opportunity while sitting at the coffee shop.
The app’s timeline shows users when they crossed paths with other professionals. The PROsimity algorithm determines if the users may have professional opportunities based on what they are looking for and on what they have to offer. Each user can then decide if the other professionals appear interesting. If both users want to network, PROsimity makes the introduction. The two professionals can then exchange digital business cards, send messages, connect via LinkedIn, and begin to build a real relationship.
Come meet PROsimity CEO, Riccardo Pisano
Are you planning to attend the Tuesday, July 1st meeting of the Coral Springs Business Connection Coffee Meetup at the Toojays Deli, 2880 N. University Drive in Coral Springs, FL at 7:45 a.m.? If you are, get ready to meet Riccardo Pisano, CEO of PROsimity. He is out 6-Minute Spotlight. Come prepared with your smartphone. In fact, Riccardo has some advice for you:
"We're recommending you use a new networking app called PROsimity. Please RSVP at http://prosimity.com/events/93/ and download the app at http://prosimity.com/download. PROsimity is designed specifically for events like this to help you find fellow attendees that are most worth your networking time - based on what you're looking for in business, and what they have to offer.

I do believe this is one Business Connection Coffee Meetup that will be regarded as a real "game changer" for serious business networkers living in Broward County, Florida.
