Entrepreneur starts social network

Dylan Stableford of Folio writes that Entrepreneur magazine has started a social network called Entrepreneur Connect for its readers.

Stableford writes, “The site purports to be a ‘business-to-business marketplace designed specifically for entrepreneurs.’ Sprint has signed on to be the launch sponsor.

“Entrepreneur’s social network joins a growing list of rival magazines launching business-focused Web communities.

“Just last week, Wired magazine announced the launch of Wired Biz, a niche social networking site for entrepreneurs and business owners. The site, Wired says, gives small business owners a platform for information sharing and ‘encourages collaborative problem solving.’

“In March, BusinessWeek partnered with LinkedIn to create a social network. In February, Fast Company announced the launch of a social networking platform it said was the first to blend journalism with online community.”
