I guess one of the key aspects of networking is not " whats in it for me?" but " what can I contribute with ?"

I guess one of the key aspects of networking is not ” whats in it for me?” but ” what can I contribute with ?”

This is a good point Henriette. I have also been trying to comment more often and become less of a passive consumer of media. I think this shift takes time because, collectively, we are not used to being so interactive. Further to your point, it is also a great way to make new connections. People appreciate input and will be much more open to letting you in their circle of friends if you participate. Hence the success of the "___camp" movement. A good example comes to mind with a post I made in the Pinko google group (funny enough, this is also the same place I discovered your blog)... I started a thread about a start-up and had some questions for the group. Within hours I had an e-mail waiting in my inbox from the owner of the company addressing my questions and offering more information. He later told me that it was a friend of his that send him my post. “I am currently practising as I preach and comment on a new blog everyday. maybe some good connections will come out of it.”
