2007-08-30 08:20 How to Use Social Networks to Find Gigs
By Mathias Meyer I can see through you. You read the headline and think MySpace . Far from it. It s true that social networks are all the rage these days. Every day a number of new communities pop up on the scene. Some are for fun, but some can be quite useful, especially for the job-seeking freelancer.

2007-08-23 06:36 Good Tips on Doing Business in China
As I'm moderating a panel on Social Media at the interactive marketing event, ad:tech Beijing in November, I'm starting to be more alert than usual to blog posts that offer insight into social media in that vast country and complex, multi-layered culture.

Cellity, a mobilephone services startup, has raised a multi-million euro first round from Mangrove Capital (early Skype backers ), Neuhaus Capital Partners, who co-led the deal, along with business angel network B-toV. There was competition to invest in this startup, we hear, but the VC investors were decided on fairly early in the game. Users are expected to download a Cellity client to their phones for things like least-cost routing which finds the cheapest way to place a call, a Twitter plug- …
