Professional Social Networks, Inc. Launches First Professional Social Network
for Chief Information Officers

MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Professional Social Networks, Inc.
today announced the launch of CIOZone(TM) (www.ciozone.com), the first
professional social network for chief information officers (CIOs).
Information technology (IT) business executives with the need to connect
and interact with one another to ensure the success of their companies and
their careers finally have a solution that works for them. The newly launched
Web site, www.ciozone.com, will serve as the platform to encourage, facilitate
and foster connections between chief information officers who need to network
with their peers to learn about new trends, solve critical management and
technology problems and, most important, exchange ideas and experiential
learning.
According to John McCormick, Chief Content Officer of CIOZone, "The CIOs I
speak with day in and day out have been asking for this kind of connection and
community for years, and while the desire to help them was there, we didn't
have the means to do it before now. The proliferation and acceptance of
social networking in the professional arena allows us to finally be able to
meet the needs of our audience in a way that no one has ever been able to do
before."
The market has been overwhelmingly receptive and CIOs like Steve Bozzo of
1-800-Flowers.com are eager to participate. "It's exciting to be able to
interact with other CIOs on demand," said Bozzo. "The platform will make it
easy to learn, network and maintain relationships with peers."
In addition to the professional social, or ProSocial(TM), networking
aspect of the site, CIOZone is powered by an award-winning team of business
and technology editors as well as content partnerships with a number of
respected organizations including Forrester Research, Robert Half Technology
and Columbia University CIO Mentoring program. CIOZone will air an exclusive
video interview with Dr. Arthur Langer of the Columbia CIO Mentoring program
in late January.
CIOs and other high level business technology leaders can register to join
the network at www.ciozone.com.
