BAIC staying connected on the Web

The Business Accelerator for Innovation & Collaboration is keeping McHenry County manufacturers connected on the Internet.

BAIC Director Jim Allen started a LinkedIn group specifically for county manufacturers to use the social-networking forum to keep businesses informed about news affecting themselves and their partners, he said.

"Because we can't always get together because everyone is so busy, they can join these affinity groups created just for manufacturers here," he said.

Allen added that although area manufacturers might not have seen a bottom in their business, he said sales were not dropping as fast as they had been.

Any area manufacturer keeping connected through LinkedIn, Facebook, or other social-networking sites?
