I think that Silo is the evolution of Linkedin. Focused on human interactions around business needs. Members vote up and down to promote and keep spam out and maintain productivity and effective use of time which is key to having high quality and cooperative members. It feels intimate yet huge at the same time. Every ask gets quick relevant and productive responses in a very short time.
This app brings together a large diverse group of entrepreneurs, service providers and execs from big tech companies. It is far and away the most sincere professional network out there- everyone genuinely wants to assist and very few are simply selling. I use it to supplement LinkedIn, not instead of, but I can imagine a day where Silo is my go-to professional app. I am on Silo at least once a day, sometimes more.
I love Silo, it's awesome. It's kind of like LinkedIn on steroids - you will actually get people responding when you need something, and you'll find yourself wanting to do the same.
I use Silo for almost 2 years now, have published many "Asks" and got help in many fronts. I also try to help people with their needs, so Karma!
Really, a great service. Use it.
With a well thought out and designed app, Silo provides access to a focused group of experts throughout the world who are positive and generous with the time they offer for networking and sharing advice.
Silo is like an accelerator to your network of contacts. Joining this marvellous community helps me get focused assistance exactly for the challenges I am facing. In many cases I got help from people outside my real-life/LinkedIn network and that's what makes Silo such a great tool!
I've been using Silo for awhile now and enjoy how it has found its niche of helping others in the community fulfill requests of theirs (and mine). It makes for a refreshing social networking experience.
