We're so focused on online social networking these days that we forget: much of it is based on live human interaction. Yet, at a meeting last week, I asked how many had gotten a job through LinkedIn. 0 people. How many through personal connections? More than half the group. Of course, this isn't a scientific sample, so more research needs to be done. But organizations today work through human networks, supported by online social networks, in order to get things done. To forget the human networks is to miss something significant. I know! We’re so focused on online social networking these days that we forget: much of it is based on live human interaction.
