Why old-fashioned networking is better — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 19:09:28 +0000

I don’t see why so much emphasis is being placed on social networking as if is a replacement for the old-fashioned networking. Clearly, the old fashioned type of networking is more effective in deriving positive benefit through the actual human interaction. In a world of poking and ‘joining my network’, a good old handshake is still the only true from of networking.

I feel that social networking is not just necessary but an unavoidable progression from traditional modes of communication. In much the same way telephones were the better option compared to letters then, in much the same way sending emails or collaborating electronically has come to be accepted as a better option than meeting someone in person. This we have to accept as the wave of the future and fully embrace it.
Have a nice day
