Man, certainly a great subject. I have no desire to be FAMOUS, necessarily – but having resources to fall back on (a network, you could say) and a certain amount of credibility can’t hurt.

I get what Rand and Lee are saying!

Thanks for the great discussion!

“I just want to be able to flip open my contact list and immediately get an answer”. That’s the best.

P.S. Thanks for the shout-out! Glad I could help.

haha you make it sound so “friendly” but beware the power of the clique. It works both ways unfortunately. “friends help friends out” isn’t always a good thing, if the individuals are acting like a mob.

Well said. I don’t want to be famous, I just want to be able to flip open my contact list and immediately get an answer to “hey do you know anyone that does X” or “what do you think about X” or “lets collaborate on X”…and I want it from sources that I trust. You get these types of sources by being knowledgeable and friendly.

This for me is networking and not trying to get famous. And I want cool people to drink with at conferences.

Unless you mean famous like dating Kate Hudson or something…I’d take that in a second.
