myBigz.com - Network with potential customers

A social network aimed at helping home businesses, small businesses and creative professionals to connect with their prospective clients. The website, myBigz.com, is a free web application which allows businesses and creative professionals (e.g. artists, designers, programmers, hair stylists) to showcase their work by creating business or professional profiles and form "friendships" with potential clients. The myBigz platform allows small business owners the opportunity to advertise, expand, and build their customer base and also provides creative professionals with media-enriched portfolios and the ability to network with potential clients and employers. Although myBigz functions as a searchable creative professional and business directory, the website aims to foster a sense of community. The local community page offers a forum for all registered members and visitors who are interested in a particular location. Visitors can create free professional, business, or individual profiles which are quickly indexed by most major search engines (e.g. Google, Yahoo). By creating a profile, members can interact with other members and stay abreast of local business promotions and events.

“Whether you’re on your own or running a small business… myBigz is the smarter way to network with consumer clients and showcase your work.”

There's nothing quite like it. It's the first free searchable business directory to include home businesses, small businesses, and creative professionals. As such, the market for the site is huge. The site also offers creative professionals the option of posting their designs, programs, resumes... pretty much anything to their media-enriched profiles. And the level of community and interactivity is beyond that of any business directory on the net.

How good is the quality of the services? How will the site advertise itself?
