    “Networking that matters is, helping people achieve their goals.”

    That is the best phrase I have ever heard on networking. It is the basis of online and offline networking.

    GREAT VIDEO. Big Thanks!

    that’s an incredibly myopic opinion. he’s not marketing this video. his social media site squidoo is incredibly popular. and the principals he describes are right on. they’re are few people more qualified to talk about social networking.

    Love the glasses! I need to get some. I am not sure if I agree with the last 15 seconds of your commentary.

    This is very true. What can be hard is getting clients and upper management to buy into it.

    talks about social networking and he’s on 15k views on youtube….laughable really.

    But if you go out of your way to connect say your unemployed friend with an employer you know, just for the sake of your friend. that’s basically what Seth is saying is real networking. It’s a different story all together.

    you’re so right (as always) Seth
    I’m sick of ‘reading’ everything (i.e.) : twiiter facebook myspace and blogs here there and everywhere
    …ffs.
    I sooner have one or two ‘mentors’ and i think you know the answer to that one Seth.

    Despite many webinars and training on how to use social sites to make or break your business, I’m still getting direct sales pitch from new “friends” right off the bat!

    “provide real time connectivity to everyone around the world.”
    Yes a fact, but be real about it, we are trying to “sell” something.

    Seth is not suggesting to give up connectivity. he’s telling you to connect with ppl who bring substance. real people who care and listen to you, and visa-versa. that has value, not hearing about a every stupid second of scobbles life!

    what connectivity? to hear about scobble taking a shit? scobble eating popcorn? scobble asking what movie to watch?

    Seth is absolutely right. it’s all superffiction. I have seen countless times people -no bodies- directing questions to certain popular figures and not get a reply. why? because it makes them feel as if they matter.

    Connectivity is important from a business point of view but only when it contributes to profitability.

    I think Seth is talking here from a purely business perspective and I agree that many people confuse simply adding large numbers of friends with effective business networking - the two are not the same thing and networking requires far more skill than just clicking the add button.

    For me the aim of social networking is to seek mutually beneficial long term relationships

    Seth,
    I like your philosophy. To Avoid the fluff.
    Definitions of “friend” & “networking” is certainly being challenged. Your comments are consistent with others in the that “investment first” allows opportunity to create good relationships. The challenge is: 2 are eyeballing each other… both wondering if the other is sincere. who goes first? :) So the social networking tools today have a place for introductions? eBay has proven there’s a place where people can connect via the internet.
