Sign of the times
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is launching a Facebook-like social networking website where people with roots in the city's corporate and academic communities can share ideas and information about promoting Boston's business climate.
The site, www.bostonworldpartnerships.com, will be unveiled today at City Hall and is scheduled to go live in November. It will include blogs, profiles of entrepreneurs and business leaders, chat networks, information about local events, and pages focused on everything from finance and investment to green living and clean energy. There is no cost to join the site.
