197 new members connected to Pier Carlo today, and every minute a new one arrives!
It's not a secret that we're in a little shock when after LinkedIn has put our banner to their web site, visible for all Milan-city area LinkedIn Members... 
Pier Carlo, Milan-IN's President, is now back from his vacation and processing new requests for membership: he connects himself with the new members (on LinkedIn), and for how did we setup the work-flow for new members approvations, I see immediatelly those people already connected to Pier Carlo. Then it's my job to create a name.surname @ milanin.com mailbox for everyone of them, fix the profile (the things as LinkedIn ID/URL, user-id if surname has a complex structure etc.) and some other Admin-level checkings.
And having seen 197 "new tasks" for me for this week-end, I now feel myself of course very happy for our Project, but a little bit upset with how much time I'll have to spend before the "profiles" will become "user accounts" :) Well, I won't tell you how many people send me their "forgot my password" requests even if they're still not approved! ;)
It seems to me that taking into account the recent great success of Milan-IN Business Networking Club, we'll need to reorganize a bit our Org-Team, and review some work-flows for sure :) It's not passible anymore to manage in manual way the Club that's growing to ~100 Members every day!
Here is some more web site access statistics for the last days- it just confirms the early movements from here "Our Ads on LinkedIn, day one: 800 new visits, 120 new members" - LinkedIn is making the major accesses heap for us!
