With the world of online social networking increasing rapidly by the day, every Internet entrepreneur is trying to find a new niche in the market. There have been a lot of murmurs recently about a blog site which may have taken grasp of such an opening, a website designed to use social networking in the interest of those who have connected and want to promote themselves or their business in the world of independent media. For those still not in the loop of this new window of opportunity, Connector.ie is the place to start your research. As an outside observer new to the scene myself, I also began at the core.
The website is a blog run by Conor Lynch, who is already somewhat decorated in the media industry having won many awards within Interactive Marketing such as Golden Spiders, Investor Awards and Digital Media Awards. Although he claimed to once be elusive, he welcomes public contact and boldly posts all contact details on the site to get in touch with him.
The blog site is primarily designed to connect people such as writers, filmmakers and other web entrepreneurs creating links between these people for possible collaborations in the future. It also gives these people the ability to promote themselves to the other members and to the public without expense. This is done through meet-ups and event organising where the members can socialise with each other face to face. The attention is ever growing with the site, especially with the anticipation of the new eMag and the latest event, Connector Meet-Up 8, which will be designed as an open mic night for those wishing to promote themselves or their business. The preparation for the eMag is in full flow with Conor shooting videos spots for the upcoming first edition. The site growth and large community interest may have resulted in the blog becoming somewhat of a cornerstone and in some cases a key starting point for anyone wanting to make some vital connections in the world of media. The blog itself is still active with daily posts including video links and links to the sites with more information along with regular updates on upcoming events.
For those who feel they have a creative talent with no ability to vent, or for those post graduates who just cant seem to get their feet off the ground, log on to Connector.ie and become a member. Once you attend an event or meet-up which attracts one hundred people plus, you will open a door to the world you have always wanted to explore. You will meet people with common interests and goals and can give you the creative boost you have needed to mould tour talents and qualifications into a career.
