Hi Haken, do you network with other local freelancers?

I'm somewhat of a freelancer since I build fluff sites and sites for non-profit organizations. I haven't figured out how to work with commercial clients yet.

He he he, I guess you're right -- tho the synergy could be great, as in, you land a project that requires 3 developers, or, requires someone with expertise in that you don't have, etc. etc.

Heh. That's something I never really understood too much. Then again. I'm not sure how many freelancers enjoy networking with their direct competition. I mean, if you are doing local work and they are as well, I would guess you'd be competing for the same clients.

Not to say that it's not good to network with others of course. I'm all up for that. And I would definitely like to meet other freelancers in the local area.

Makes me think back to the old days of youth sports leagues/teams and their rivalries. : )
