Opportunity Alert: LinkedIn for New Media Companies
February 15, 2007
Donat Group just developed a public beta of a new Drupal site: Opportunity Alert.
Opportunity Alert is a partnership matching tool for New Media businesses. It provides a forum where companies can present their projects, search for the best business partners, and begin a discussion with companies from around the world. It's an interesting twist on Social Networks in that it is not intended as a place for hanging out; it is very task focused. Extended or detailed conversations are expected to be taken off-line once a connection has been made.
There are two modes of finding a potential partner:
Active - go search for what you need and introduce yourself.
Passive - submit your partnering needs and get notified when an appropriate partner becomes available.
What I like about this site is the focus. It's industry specific and it has one purpose: facilitate new media partnerships.
Well Done Great Looking Site
