Eric- Great post. you are soooo right that many people think that online social networking sites are the "magic bullet" to making business connections. WRONG. they are just a tool. It still takes effort to make, grow and keep business relationships.

Absolutely correct Thom. It takes a lot of work to grow your contacts into a network and no amount of technology will create the network of people that think about you when they have a need. The technology can help keep you connected, but it won't help with building the relationships.

Interesting. I just read an article by frustrated John C. Dvorak. You should check it out. He's fed up with the new "ubiquitous" social networking on the web.
