I haven't decided on print media just yet.
Bloggers
what am I missing?

your on the right track with that list. What type of business networking is it? i see the Bizintros.com site is running phpfox so your headed towards social media type setup right?
its hard to get business people into a social style setup. cause people will hardly talk business when theres pics and stuff all over there. As you know there are a lot of types of business. online , brick and mortor , offices , etc so my question is what are you trying to do? all business in general?
if so then you have to really look at your competition. Most online business is webmaster forums like geek2.net , digitalpoint , sitepoint , talkfreelance , webtalkforums , etc.
(all those are vbulletin forums by the way)
So what are people going to have that they are missing from the other sites. my deal is i trying to give full and honest help on geek2 for the novice people just starting out. the bigger forums have to many people on there and tend to rip into noobs. so thats my niche. going after the new webmasters looking for guidance.
so whats your niche? why should they come to your site? what can you show or share that will benefit them? these are all things you need to ask yourself to get the ball rolling in the right direction.
