Someone mentioned recent investors jumping on board with Meet Up recently and it got me thinking about a favourite of mine from way back when. Ryze.
Ryze isn’t really a social networking tool but it is a (or was) a great business networking tool when I actively used it upon its launch in 2001. I stopped using it when there seemed to be a it too much MLM activity for my personal taste.
Take a look way back:
Ryze may not be for bloggers, but it definitely has some networking possibilities for small business owners. So as a business owner I thought I would take another look at Ryze and maybe compare it to Linked In.
The first thing that struck me is that although the layout may not be the same as it was in 2001(to the left) it really hasn’t changed much since 2003 and I am all for not changing something that works but really please update the testimonials 
I am seriously considering sending them my resume.

Join me as I sign (back up) on Ryze and see if it is still as useful today as it was in 2003.
I am going to see if I can challenge myself to get 300 Ryzer’s hooked on social media networking by the end of the summer.
I am impressed that WOMEN in business appear to be very active on Ryze take a look at the top Ryze Networks:
