First off, its an excellent resource and I've learned some great stuff here. Regarding the post. You mention the point that the Business Networking attitude is far different then a Social Networking attitude, and I don't really understand why. It seems to me that in order to give and receive value in a networking environment you have to first and foremost be approachable, willing to listen, and if at all possible lighthearted. When people employ the all business hit and run tactic, where its a quick hello, what do you do?...think for a second if what you do can help them, and if so -stay if not - go to next victim, are the bane of all networking and why so many people find it so hard to tolerate. Just my thought but I like a bit of social attitude in my networking, more of a middle round approach. I’ve been reading this blog over the past few months and thought I should finally add something.
