No Man (or Woman) Is An Island…

Whether it is a link to our past, our family, our friends, or our colleagues, everyone benefits from linking to the world around them. Connecting with others empowers us and makes unlikely things seem possible. Once upon a time, it was only the skilled conversationalist that could effortlessly make invisible connections visible. Today you don’t have to be a curious networker to spot subtle or special social common denominators. Web 2.0 has changed the networking landscape by doing the heavy lifting. Social networking sites like LinkedIn quickly and easily identify the path of least resistance. As the web is populated with more and more information, living in a major city quickly feels like living in a small village. Influencing those beyond our immediate reach is no longer reserved for the Paul Revere’s of the world. In fact, when you are a linked individual you are efficient, effective, and enlightened.
