I could say that me and Emma are the good “social networking friends”. We've first met on Ecademy (Emma said in her article it was on LinkedIN in 2006, but I remember the very first contact was even earlier, on Ecademy in 2005 I think).
We do keep in touch with Emma, time to time discussing some interesting topics- about Social Networking, Business Networking, Italy and what's the life of emigrants here :lol: (last time I was commenting for her in private the HowToItaly's article about that the permit-of-stay will be managed via Post Offices, I know how it's working or not working in the real life).
Lately we had some intensive exchange of mails about the recent book of Emma and HowToItaly, called “Starting a Business in Italy”, the book I bought immediately when Emma told me it is available from Amazon UK, and I found lots of useful info for myself there! Thank you Emma, it's just the great book for the people like me, who want to start some business in Italy but taking into account the specific of the “Bel Paese” :), still consider this goal unreachable...
