Wanting to look up similar businesses and connect with them? On paper it was always possible to pick up a directory and find what you were looking for. Online? Not so much. This is what drove the young entrepreneur Jake Tipper to come up with Total Socials. A recently launched website that lets you find other businesses easily and helps you connect with them.

If you use twitter or other social networking sites, you may get half the job done but it is a lengthy process. Total Socials is catering to a niche market for now but is extremely successful. It has a solid business plan in place and offers listing and connectivity to businesses; something which wasn’t present before.
