Twitter, for example, had little value until my Twitter network grew to 50 and then 100+. It is an incredible tool now for networking but you have to spend the time to weed out the distractions and figure out who it makes sense to follow.Mike Kavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722839431789381667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726426499105885054.post-17089637196133572362008-07-19T09:49:00.000-05:002008-07-19T09:49:00.000-05:00I completely agree, companies or individuals who s...I completely agree, companies or individuals who shy away from social software will eventually render themselves irrelevant. <BR/><BR/>You have provided great starting points with, Facebook, LinkedIn,YouTube, Flickr and Twitter.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I have grown my network, found collaboration, sources for talent, new business contacts , renewed contacts and in some cases even made some new friends. <BR/><BR/>Face-to-Face networking is remains a great networking platform, but I have found social software to enhance my overall networking experience. It provides me a opportunity to learn more about the person or persons, their business, service, background, interests and have a list of discussion points, prior to a Face-To-Face meeting or conversation.<BR/><BR/>I would like to add, your network is like a garden, it needs to be cultivated with ongoing activity, cared for and maintained. All which requires a investment of time. Time well worth the investment!<BR/><BR/>See you on Twitter @madgreek65 !
