Haven't
you thought you would never get to contact your good old friends
from school, work, or Greek affiliation? Thanks to Alumni.NET,
the rest of the world and your old friends await you at online
bulletin boards to catch up on old times.
Alumni.NET is a free to use website that reunites you with your
former friends from all your past affiliations. You may find
or register your organizations whether from school, work, military
or Greek connection, or any other organization or association.
Alumni.NET presently has 1.8 Million members and more than 65,000
organizations listed worldwide. Last April 23, a development
to the site's features was launched-their improved Bulletin
Boards that foster opportunities for the members' personal and
professional development through networking.
Announcements and events may be posted, discussions started,
help or advice sought, and news be personally reported to the
rest of the organization. Communicating and coordinating with
a mass of people becomes easy and convenient especially for
arranging reunions and all sorts of events. This is with the
help of the Bulletin Board's many features such as several themes
or discussion categories, a messages archive, and illustrative
mood icons. What's more, one of the most appealing features
of the Bulletin Board, according to Alumni.NET Software Engineers,
is that it's also HTML capable. This means that the members
may be able to insert links, post pictures, and add appeal to
their messages.
"We need to shake loose of the notion that networking is hard
to do. We're merely stretching out networking from within a
digitally connected organization to the rest of the community,"
adds its President Eric Tomacruz Ph.D.
Indeed while other registries cater to high schools and colleges,
Alumni.NET extends to every person's affiliation to connect
and enable networking for the members. Technology experts have
since verified that the Web, also by definition, is the best
channel to network independent groups and systems. Boundaries
are redefined in its existence, especially between people and
organizations, vice versa, and within themselves. In itself,
subsequent personal and professional development may now be
within any active members' reach. Choices are expanded, camaraderie
inspired, an arena of helping established together-worldwide.
"Soon we'll provide Bulletin Boards per locale. We'll bring
the world to our members and we're looking forward to seeing
many good things happen through our boards," says the Alumni.NET
Project Manager.
The world networked? We'll see how far Alumni.NET and its team
get. Till then, it's the members who'll make the site really
worth visiting.
