From the community managers desk

If you’ve visited www.mygenius.com lately you’ll see that the membership of SA entrepreneurs has grown to over 22 000! This is a substantial network of small business owners each willing to share insights, opportunities, opinion and information to grow the competitiveness of SA’s small business community.

In the next few weeks we’ll be launching a new and simpler site which will give My Genius members a host of new tools to get business advice, track business trends, communicate, promote and find products and services - and network for business. New features include a free subscription to the minds of leading thinkers in the business strategy, marketing, technology, finance and economy disciplines. A new product and service directory will make it simple to publish products and services and easy to find solutions. An Answers service will help members to ask for advice. Members will also find it easy to post news and network. The new site will also be indexed substantially better by Google and search engines – and integrated into Facebook and Twitter to ensure even greater exposure. Watch the site for the link to the new site.

We welcome any comments or suggestions you may have to help us to improve our service. Please mail us on info@mygenius.com.
