MarksGuide, the original guide to professional networking events, was launched in July 2006 as a personal blog covering topics relating to the Boston-area professional networking scene, providing news, association directories, and event listings for business, technology, and media professionals. MarksGuide was eventually relaunched as an events-only service, providing free event listings in support of the greater Boston business community and beyond. Eventually the service was phased out and fully ceased operations in 2010. Previous press: Forbes | Xconomy | Boston Business Journal – 1, 2 | Mass High Tech
