The Network
... a specialized online
information service identified
by the .network logointroduction
networker:
... a person engaged in networking
activities.
networking:
... the purposeful information exchange that
brings about working relationships; a process that facilitates
the
building and maintenance of working relationships. Business
networking is typically the event of two people
meeting, introducing themselves, exchanging cards,
and briefly explaining to each other what they do. In the
latter case, at least
one person's aim is to learn enough about the other
so that a working relationship can be pursued. If there's
a spark of possibility for a working relationship, followup becomes
an essential element of the process. The eight
essentials for networking success, especially for those
who have incorporated the Internet into their strategies
and techniques, are summarized by The
Network. Although The Network focuses
on enterprise
and economic development, the eight essentials are
applicable for all who want to claim business networking
savviness.
networking event:
... the occurrence of networking or networking
activities at a given time and place; arrangements
made for people to have opportunities to find contacts
and to develop, reestablish or confirm working relationships
with them.
New Economy:
... the emerging economy anticipated at the outset of
the 21st century as a transition of power
and influence from the Industrial Age. The emergence
of electronics, computers, communications technologies,
and the World Wide
Web were indications that changes were underway. The
New Economy is volatile. The term was eclipsed by events
of September 11, 2001.
new venture startup:
... an enterprise as
it gets underway; result of an entrepreneurs efforts;
that which comes about after a new
venture plan is followed an operational
enterprise exists; a venture at
its outset.

... the value remaining after deducting liabilities from
assets.
NLRB:
... National
Labor Relations Board (US); federal agency
that oversees and reports on union election activities
as well as other relational activities between management
and labor.
non-exempt employee:
... a worker receiving an hourly wage subject
to US Department
of Labor wage and hour laws that dictate
he be
paid overtime when on the job for an expended period.
nonpartisan:
... without bias or an affiliation that suggests
or establishes representation; having a dedication to objectivity
as opposed to having a vested interest in circumventing
it. The word partisan has a distinct
relationship to political,
e.g. partisan politics. The word nonpartisan is
used interchangeably with unbiased by The
Network which is dedicated
to enterprise development that leads to economic
development.
In the latter case, pundits in the field acknowledge that
politics plays a leading role in bringing about economic
development
in many places. The
Network is simply a specialized online
information service, however, having a universal
outlook. Explanation of its search
promise clearly shows that The
Network strives to be as unbiased and nonpartisan as possible
in serving
users.
nonprofit versus not for profit:
... interchangeable terms, both meaning that
there is no net
profit, at least not to the extent of making a
distribution of capital to
investors or stockholders. Arguably, a non profit enterprise
is one that doesn't make money whether its intended to
or not. Not-for-profit may be used to clearly indicate
that an organization doesn't distribute profits to
individuals or for-profits.
not monitored:
... in regard to working online, an expression that means
you are not being watched when visiting a website. That
includes not asking you to register. The
Network has a
firm policy about monitoring its websites. Visitors are
not asked to provide information about themselves before
becoming
users.
Users are not monitored in any way that reveals who
they are. The no monitoring policy of is framed around
a unique
search promise. It's part of The Network privacy
policy. Instructions for sending
an email make it clear
that we
do not want your personal information, not even to know
your name, except if you choose to to provide it.
null and void:
... cancelled as having no worth, legal force, or effect;
therefore, non-binding, unenforceable.
