That was my question this week when I received an invite. It certainly didn’t sound like a professional social networking site, but for the sake of my readers … I bit the bullet and checked it out.
Ziggs is another social network. Is it better than LinkedIn, Naymz, Spoke, Facebook? Here’s what Ziggs has to say about itself:
Ziggs is your one-stop source for creating and managing your online brand. Market yourself on the Web and simplify how you stay in touch with people important to you. People who use Ziggs enjoy comprehensive online personal branding that they control, top visibility in search engines, easy communications and a strong sense of community with people important to them. As well as networking opportunities with millions of other professionals.
Ziggs is for the Internet user who proactively wants to market themself on the Web - to be found by recruiters, to find a better job, or just to be found when searched for. Ziggs is also for the Internet user who wants to develop or participate in private online communities with colleagues, friends, club members or charity teams.
Ziggs is constantly in touch with customers and Internet users everywhere to define and deliver the next solution on our platform of services - to help you get the most out of the Internet for your work and your life.
Ziggs received $7.5M in 2007 from 50 to 60 angel investors. How successful Ziggs can be remains to be seen. Personally, I just don’t have time for another social networking site.
