Looking for an incentive to get people travelling together, Filenetwerken thinks time spent on the road could be put to use as ‘networking’ time by inviting others along for the ride.
“I see it as bringing social networking away from the internet and into reality. On sites like LinkedIn and Facebook, there are people with 500 friends, 450 of whom they might never have met. Filenetwerken actually connects people. And by sharing a ride, you’re doing your bit for the planet.” - founder of Filenetwerken.nl, Ms Patricia Zebeda
