Branchout: Search your friends' contacts to find a job/customers

This is a great tool for jobseekers and those looking to network. It roots through your friends' information to find out company names and associations.  Most jobs are given through referrals.  BranchOut lets hiring managers and business owners see who to headhunt from friends/contacts and we get to see what companies we wish to join via our friend network.  My favorite part?  The job listings.

Facebook

I'm getting it out of the way.  I love the MaZuck (Mark Zuckerberg).  I know...you don't read that very often.  He's loyal (fired Sean Parker but "partnered" with Causes) and brilliant. I love a site where I can rent movies (thank you Warner Bros), learn (TED, almost every magazine, nonprofit and consultant under the sun), "like" myself, and interact with people from around the world.  I can fundraise (causes, pepsi, members project, toyota, chase, etc), gain supporters/volunteers and so much more just by spending a little bit of time every day (or once a month). The world really is a more social place...I can even RSVP for offline events and schedule appointments thanks to the Schedulicity FB app.  When I can read entire books (maybe a partnership with Borders is in order), I'll have hit my online heaven.   The power of Facebook is endless, especially for those who are savvy.

Schedulicity

Schedulicity is by far one of my new favorite sites and services.  Schedule an appointment online with your favorite hair dresser, salon (new partnership with L'Oreal), personal trainer, realtor, or consultant.  You can book online or call for an appointment.  It's free to clients and businesses pay under $20/month for a basic service.  I can't wait to see what other features they roll out next. 

100 Cars for Good

This program by Toyota gives away 100 cars to 100 worthy nonprofit organizations.  The contest started March 7th and the application deadline is March 30th or after they receive 5000 applications, whichever comes first.  By April, the 500 finalists will be announced and in May, public voting begins.  If you know a worthy nonprofit, send them to 100 Cars For Good.
