Penelope on networking But before I go, I need to post Penelope's latest, 5 excellent tips on networking: Yahoo column: Networking for people who hate it. Today[base ']s careers are made and broken by one[base ']s ability to network. . . . Networking is actually a lot easier than you think. There are five reasons why. Numbers 2 and 4 are below. Read all five at Yahoo Finance.  [Brazen Careerist by Penelope Trunk] I'm not sure I'd agree that you can do all your networking from your blog, but it might work for you. My short take on successful netoworking is this: Networking is not about handing someone your business card and asking what they can do for you. It's about meeting folks who you don't know and finding a way to do something for them, even if they might never help you out. There's a lot of "do-unto-others" in successful networking. 9:40:04 PM    Questions? Comments? Flames? []

What happens in Vegas gets blogged and twittered Oh, there's plenty to blog about, but I'm headed off to IA Summit tomorrow, so don't look for anything here until sometime next week. And then I have to write my next (possibly last) column for ACM <interactions>, andget busy finishing and posting the Web site for the Stockton Sail Camp (not linking cuz it's not live yet). . . yeh, that's the story of my life since I promised myself to stop volunteering, ha! Oh, and if you're at IA Summit too, I might be Twittering: wfreds is the handle. 9:32:52 PM    Questions? Comments? Flames? []
