Doesn't sound like it. "being nice just so they can do things for you" is not what I'm advocating at all. I think a person can be genuine and interested when meeting people, and most networking occurs because people give a little more context about who they are and other people find that interesting. Pretty simple. I don't find networking repulsive or gross, and I don't think you have to make yourself uncomfortable to do it. @Helen – did you actually read my article?

I don’t find networking repulsive or gross, and I don’t think you have to make yourself uncomfortable to do it.

I still think "networking" is gross. Getting to know people and being nice just so they can do things for you and you can get things from them.... its not genuine. Its not me. And I find people who are like this repulsive. Many people feel this way about "networking" - that's why it has a bad name! Hmmm, I don’t know. I still think “networking” is gross.

As relevant in 2010 as when it was written in 2007. Talk about a network explosion. Social media is the great equalizer and gives amazing to accessibility to people whom I may never had the "guts" to have picked up the phone to contact before. Twitter has become one of my mediums of choice. P.S I thought the Tipping Point was an amazing work. Thank you, Lael Hazan @educatedpalate Great post!

A big thank-you! Your food photos are scrumptious. I will be back to your site often.
