Networking socially.

Welcome to Chirs Silman’s CantWaitToCruise Blog.  It’s funny. Networking has always been a social activity: happy hours, cocktail parties and business networking events. But those were in-person, up-close and dressed-to-impress types of events. These days we’re online. A lot. And being online is more prevalent than ever. (You’re reading this online, aren’t you?) Now we have a term for this ongoing conversation, and if you haven’t heard already, it’s called social networking. And there’s a lot of it out there in the world.

Want to jump in and join the conversation? Don’t know where to begin? Well, travel lover, good news. Go to www.cruisitude.com. It’s a community created for cruise enthusiasts like you. It’s a place where you can upload your travel photos and videos, or post your thoughts. Invite your friends or make some new friends. It’s all about travel, cruising and you. What’s your cruisitude? Go. Click. Join.
