			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Network Solutions organized networking events in Miami, Charlotte and Orlando featuring Guy Kawasaki. At these events the local businesses got a chance to network with each other and with <a href="http://solutionsarepower.com/2008/get-to-know-guy-kawasaki/" target="_blank">Guy Kawasaki</a>, author and entrepreneur.</p>
<p>Just to give you an illustration of some ideas that were exchanged at these events: In Miami one entrepreneur pitched his idea to Guy Kawasaki by recording his pitch on an iPod Nano and giving it to Guy Kawasaki at the Miami event. I heard later that his start-up/business idea was really very good.</p>
<p>In Charlotte, student and designer <a href="http://www.jruckman.com" target="_blank">Justin Ruckman</a>, handed out his business cards and we were all impressed. Guy even had Justin design new cards for him and then blogged about Justin on “How to Change the World” (<a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2008/05/the-art-of-the.html">http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2008/05/the-art-of-the.html</a>).<span id="more-45"></span></p>
<p>Justin’s website is <a href="http://jruckman.com/">http://jruckman.com/</a> and his new blog is <a href="http://blog.jruckman.com/">http://blog.jruckman.com</a>. Here is a picture of Justin’s cards that he handed out in Charlotte.</p>

<p>The spreading of ideas like this helped us achieve our objective of connecting people!</p>
