Ad:Bree — Social Networking for Internet Business People
Hello my fellow Mindpetalers!
Being a sales person in the online media industry, it is always a challenge meeting new people and finding new opportunities. I have come across a website that may help many of you in your journey to establish and grow your businesses and startups.
My boss, who like many of you, founded a startup 7 years ago called Operative. It was through his vision that this company was started and now can claim such clients as MSN, NBCU, and most recently MySpace (Fox Interactive Media). He is not exceptionally intelligent (I hope he doesn’t read this!), albeit extremely savvy and communicative, but was able to follow-through on his idea to create a brand new market segment by having a vision on what the future of the Internet would be. He surrounded himself with the right people and was able to sell his vision to them. He took a risk, which every entrepreneur has to do at some point if they want to be successful.
One thing that is essential in an entrepreneur’s journey to turn an idea into a reality is to know the right people. One always needs access to the resources that can enable them to be victorious in their efforts. Mind Petals founder, David Askaripour, envisioned this and that led him to create this site. I am recommending another site that I came across recently.
It is called Adbree.com. It is essentially a MySpace for people in the online advertising industry. A social networking site devoted to people who see the Internet as a business opportunity. Whether you are an online publisher looking for people to advertise on your site, an advertiser, or media buyer looking to find publishers who reach the users that your clients want to reach, or somewhere in between like myself… it is an excellent way to get more exposure for whatever you do. It is also an excellent way to learn about some cool new businesses and startups.
The only thing I ask is that after you take the time to sign up, that you send me a friend request right away!

i believe it’s a good site, with a genuine purpose - as with all startup concepts are.
but i’m not an early adopter, since there’s really no value in me joining it.
if it picks up steam, and becomes a little more known and mainstream - then i’ll become a member.
