Biznik Blog

Today was an awesome day here in Seattle. And not just because of that amazing lunar eclipse (as if by magic, the clouds parted and Seattle was able to see it tonight). Also eclipsed was the Biznik record for new-member signups in a single day. Molly Gordon plugged Biznik in her newsletter today, and the result was almost three times the normal rate of new-member signups – 62 in the past 24 hours. Thanks Molly!

And another milestone today: Angela Halsey joined Biznik. She is the 4,000th Seattle member to sign up for “business networking that doesn’t suck.” She was invited by Keith Gormezano, and already she’s got Melody Biringer (perhaps the most networked person in the entire Northwest) in her network. Go girl! And as is my habit, I’m going to tell you all about her, because I love celebrating milestones in the development of Biznik, and more importantly, because she took the time to fill out her profile! From her profile:
