As we're about to close out another week, it's time for the weekly round up of top biz stories this week.

Speed networking is all the rage.

The Business and Tech expo was on Tuesday.

First quarter homes sales weren't so good.

Even fairly well off people are turning to discounters.

Flying just keeps getting more expensive.

And because I hate to leave you with depressing news on a Friday afternoon, check out this video shot by photographer Paul Kuehnel.

In my exploring of the expo, I saw a lot of really interesting displays companies had set up. I didn't have time to take pictures of all of them, or even stop and talk to every single person there. That would have been quite the challenge.

Here's a quick look at two more of the business that were there.

Take a look at what BAE has displayed at their booth. I can only imagine it was interesting getting it in here.

It's lunch time at the expo so I decided to scope out all the places you could grab free munchies here.

There are tons of catering places represented, and they are all featuring pretty delicious-looking spreads.

Here's what I heard from and saw at some of the stands.

Here's a reason to come to the Business and Technology expo today: Free massages.

Chiropractic Healthcare Center on East Market Street has a booth where they are teaching people about the services they provide and offering free massages.

If that's not a reasons to step out of the office on your lunch break, I don't know what is.

Update: There will be another speed networking session at 2 p.m. at the Toyota Arena for anyone interested in attending.

Thanks to photographer Paul Kuehnel for snapping this picture with his phone.

"It's like speed dating without all the freakiness" -- Sean Kenny, Networking and Communications Coordinator for the York County Chamber

Basically that's exactly what speed networking is. Two people sit facing each other at a table, shake hands, exchange business cards and chat about their businesses. When the bell rings five minutes later the people on the inside get up and move one seat over to their right.

I've gotten to the expo and found the InYork.com booth. The expo is scheduled to start in about 40 minutes and there are a ton of booths and companies here to show off their stuff.

I'm heading to a speed networking event right now. Check back later for more details about that.

If you can't make it to the expo today but are still interested in finding out what's new and interesting, you'll want to check back with Mind Your Own Business throughout the day.

I will be spending most of the day at the Toyota Arena and will post updates as I see the various exhibits and talk with different presenters.

If you have a specific question about a booth or a presentation e-mail me or leave a comment and I will do my best to get it answered.

According to the news release, here's a few things you can expect to see if you check it out:

* Integrity Bank will focus on their Express Banker remote banking product. The bank provides a desktop scanner that allows a customer to make all of their business deposits of checks from the convenience of their desk.

* Dallastown Area School District is demonstrating a “smart” classroom highlighting the use of laptop computers, LCD projectors, a smart board—an electronic whiteboard—and student response systems, as well as using software to show the educational uses of these tools.
