Fantastic post and one I will be referring to in a future talk for the Bangkok Networking of Women group on the 18th of May.
Infact they are reading this now as it is an example of taking part in the community and commenting on blogs is one way to do that.
To add, I would like to suggest http://www.meetup.com, as you easily find people to meetup with and network.
A fantastic post and really helpful, thanks.

yeah, thanks for the suggestion.
Cool sites. I tried to check Ning.com and was able to communicate with the university alumni. You must as well add Donanza, it lists different sources of online employments. Odesk also is one. You better check for Virtapay.com. I accidentally dropped by the site and truly I registered. There is the money but they’re still developing their electronic money transfer. But I believe this late April according to their blog, they’ll be launching another update for site stability and for the users’ convenience in using their service. Indeed, it’s a good site.
Money is wealth, but health gives money for us to become healthy. Make sure to check this site:

As you do your entrepreneurship, you must as well be relaxed to maintain your health. Be negative to synthetic medications because of its side effects. Natural medications prevents stress best.
