&lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/madisonwho"   target="_blank" title="Matt Schwartz"&gt;Matt Schwartz&lt;/a&gt;,
CEO of Madison Who's Who, said today that "We've been looking for ways
to further facilitate our members networking capabilities to enhance
their job searches, joint ventures, and other partnerships." &lt;/p&gt;

Madison Who's Who is appealing to executives and hiring managers who
