Recent Achievement:
The Power and Tools of OpenNetworkers.info is well recognized by the Mashable.com review:


7. Open Networkers

Open Networkers has over 5,000 members who are actively (and professionally) networking. The big differentiator with this community is the sheer amount of tools you have, such as their own toolbar, a website creator, gadgets and widgets, and a collection of RSS feeds in the site you can subscribe to. On the main page, you have your typical blog post collection and discussion threads, but also a FriendFeed (FriendFeed reviews) syndication of the latest web 2.0 developments. They have their own networking handbooks and a lot more.
