I know and understand a number of folks are open networkers. They will accept and encourage connections from any number of folks. There is power in the network. The real power in the network is not in the overall number but in the quality of the number you have. One prominent open networker refused to forward a couple of introductions as "they really didn't know them too well." For someone on the job search, that was not a helpful answer. I'll side with quality over quantity!

I did a podcast with George and MaryLynn of Bigg Success on "Location, Location, Location" and how it matters to your social media strategy just as much as it did in the old school of marketing.

Back to new school and the future. I recall hearing that over 50% of the phones now in use are smart phones. The percent is increasing each day. The opportunity is there for having a mobile presence. How can you use that? Can you make an app for what you do? Can you help service the folks who have a smart phone but don't currently utilize it to the potential?
