integrating social tools in Professional Networking Website

paracalls.com - a worldwide new Professional Networking website with Social Networking Tools which let people manages their social and professional activities from one place. It’s designed in such a way that it can help everyone to develop an exceptionally powerful personal and professional network from one site. The differences I found between paracalls and other professional networking websites are, the integrated social tools like, instant messenger of yahoo, msn, gtalk, aol as well as facebook and twitter. Also there is option of job posting, create a company website, build a resume and some more features that are very important and I liked. There are many professional networking websites but I like paracalls among them and I am sure You also like it.
