Highflya’s a good idea that simply needs some room and time to grow. While business networking isn’t a brand new occurrence, it certainly could use work. Highflya’s got a modern touch with its VidMail service, and it’s got quite a few useful features.

How is this site going to attract members? There’s no information on the site for potential members to read; you actually have to sign up to see what they have to offer. This alone might give users pause. The ‘about us’ link needs to be fixed as does the media section. Networking is already a seriously bloated market, will Highflya take off?
