Via the London Marketing dinner I've just come across BusinessBricks, the self-styled "UK's liveliest small business newsletter". I like the look of it and will find out more about it. They have a good George Bernard Shaw quote which is very good for reminding the normally reserved British why networking is a good thing to do:

"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. "

My main criticism is that despite having some good ideas it makes them hard to access. The newsletter is only available by visiting the website or subscribing by email. Why no RSS feed? The interesting sounding Meet-ups mean you have to send an email to find out more. Why not use a service like Meetup?
