The vital online community for the Triangle’s small business owners, or micro-business owners, inSide919.com, approaching the 2000 member level, has been a hot bed for valuable and engaging alliances, collaboration, joint projects and more.
The latest very visible collaboration was initated by inSide919 Trustee and member, Martin Brossman, a new, NC focused, social media guide / directory for business. Brossman invited about 14 inSide919 business professionals, practioners of social media, if not outright experts, to contribute helpful articles and their most valuable sites.

The press release is as follows:
inSide919.com, Online Small Business Network, Spawns Social Media Directory with NC Focus
inSide919.com social media professionals contributed to a new Triangle focused guide of online small business resources, conceived of and produced by Martin Brossman. Brossman’s Social Media and Online Directory for Business is now available.
Aug 19, 2009 – Pushing 1900 members now, inSide919.com is the online community defined by small business owners who live and work within the “919″ area code. It has catalyzed many collaborative projects and businesses. The latest one to get noticed is a guide to social networking on the internet with articles by around a dozen inSide919 members who have professional expertise in the topic, and a directory of online resources.
Brossman’s Social Media and Online Resource Directory for Business, “Brossman’s Social Media Directory” for short, was conceived of by Triangle LinkedIn and Social Media Networking trainer and coach, Martin Brossman. As someone who guides both students and mature business professionals on practical, ethical and valuable use of online social media, Brossman was seeing a need for an affordable paperback guide.
A community building member of inSide919 and a Trustee, Brossman invited more than a dozen professionals on inSide919 to contribute articles to help small business people use social media and internet resources well. The result is an attractive 8.5 x 11 paperback which folds open easily with margins and extra space for notes, and a symbolic image of seagulls taking flight on the front cover, and high in flight on the back.
