Among the many trots around the World Wide Web, I came upon an ad for Coffee with Ian. Not having a clue what it was about, I decided to take a closer look. The closer look led me to Ian’s Ning network. The portal to discussions and social networking, not on-line, but face-to-face.

In this day where the latest social networking like, Twitter, FriendFeed, and the hot topic lately, Plurk, are keeping people glued to their laptops, Ian is building his brand and social network by actually networking face-to-face.

This week alone, Ian has four chats set up for you to join, sit, and meet. Great interaction, going back to when people actually meet in person to have great conversation. Unfortunately, I am not located in New York, or I would have coffee with Ian, but if you are located in New York, why not give old fashion networking a try.
