Being part of an online networking community exposes you to many different things. For one, you get to learn about so many different industries, people, hobbies, etc. If you take it a step further and network with people in your industry, you get to learn more about the different technologies available in the world and the different experts that can handle these technologies.
As a consulting/OEM firm, that's good to know. It opens our horizons to what is new, hip and functional. It also allows us to debate with different experts on how to solve a particular problem/issue we encounter on a daily basis.
This time around, I was exposed to - what I call - micro job sites. These job search engines are specific to a particular industry, in this case water, and are created by individuales who want to make a difference.
