Just recently I have noticed that some 'members' are signing up via the company name and not their individual name. Is it me, or does that seem a little bit weird. Surely the point of networking, online or offline, is all about building relationships with people, and how can you do that when you are connecting with someone / something called Netklix Ltd, or Streets Local, or Moto Team.
