Whether it be the Gutenberg press or Facebook, both have had a profound impact on the way information is shared and how easy it is to access. Along with any new technology also comes a healthy dose of new business opportunities and hype - and the hype comes no bigger than that surrounding social media.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've covered coworking plenty on Freelance Advisor. Be it at dedicated coworking spaces or weekly Jelly meetings, we think coworking is a fantastic way for freelancers and contractors to get out there, enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, get some work done, and do some no-pressure networking.

		<description><![CDATA[In his characteristically blunt manner, Lord Alan Sugar has been lending his opinions on a range of issues affecting the small business community. In a column written in The Daily Telegraph, Lord Sugar discusses how small businesses can plan for a tough 2011, why it's foolish to rely on anyone to help your business - especially banks, and why networking events are a waste of time.  As you would probably expect from Sugar, it's a combination of shrewd business advice, personal anecdote (some might say self-glorification) and the occasional expletive. In all seriousness, his advice is genuinely insightful.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Networking. Many people preach about the benefits of attending networking events, but until recently I hadn't actually been to one myself. 

The fear is that such events may turn out to be stilted, formal and full of cliques. Nobody wants to be at a soul-sapping snoorfest. Thankfully, my first experience of 'formal' networking was no such occasion.]]></description>
