I recently completed developing a venue-based networking service called Clicksposure ( http://www.clicksposure.com ) and a partner to help market and promote the service. Particularly someone with an extensive public relations background and many contacts in the blogging and start-up journal community.
Clicksposure allows you to "Meet" and "Treat" new friends at your favorite places or to create public small group events (such as happy hours) and invite others from the neighborhood to join with you.
Clicksposure encourages you to get from behind your computer and away from your smartphone in a fun and engaging manner that promotes real-world interaction.
I am currently in the Washington, DC area, but am looking for someone in DC, NYC, or San Francisco.
You can email contact@clicksposure.com for more information.
