contact us:

In many cases you can page down (pd) to the end of a .network file to find an about-us-link. We are placing the link at the bottom of our pages as fast as we can convert them to the latest design. About us has a link to instructions for sending us an email. As you enter each of the .network hubs you will see a contact button at the top-right of the the first couple of pages. Please take a moment to give us feedback or suggestions as to whether or not this is convenient. We regret the inconvenience of the email instructions; however, they are proving to be worth it by making it possible for us to separate serious inquiries from spam. Spam goes directly to trash without us ever actually receiving it.

email instructions apply to asking for delivery on our promise:

As stated in the paragraph above, we've developed a set of instructions that serious email enquirers need to follow. CLICK HERE to see that the instructions are essentially the same for asking us to deliver on the .network search promise.

The most instruction item is the one that tells you to begin your subject line with the word from followed by a colon (from:), then to either tell us where you are or who you are. Inquiries who pay attention to this request don't commingle their emails with the hundreds of pieces of trash that are discarded daily without us ever actually accepting them. Serious inquiries are separated from all others by an ISP program that checks subject lines for the key word and colon and a database for addresses that we have approved. Most email addresses that we are willing to accept are from people with records in the Global Registry of Contacts.

Is your economic development directory an open directory project?

If you are referring to Economic Development.net/Area Development the answer is yes, one could call it that. Any location, anywhere, seeking economic development is offered the opportunity to list in the file for freeDO IT!. EDN/Area Development may also be considered an open directory project because all .network users have the opportunity to ask for free location-search assistance when its needed.
