The Power Of Loose Ties, Longterm Networking.

For a long time, I’ve been blogging.  I’ve followed and been followed by thousands of people off and on (had I the ephiphany that I’ve had today, baby, I’d have EVERYONE OF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES).   And I learned something.  Even people that you used to follow are dimly aware of you 2 years after you stop.

I haven’t been on LiveJournal.Com in more than 2 years.

I haven’t posted updates, been part of the comunities (though a Realtor could do really well on communities like columbus.livejournal.com).

At one point, I followed http://voicetrack.livejournal.com.

I pinged him the other day to see if he’d do an open to my SurvivalCast (which is live and permanent starting tomorrow…I’m 3 weeks ahead of schedule), and what he’d charge.   He gave me the best price of all, and recorded 10-12 takes of my 2 sentences.  He had takes with both the gravatas of a 1940 news anchor to the Mirth of Harry Chapin’s “mornin’ DJ”.   What fun he was!

Anyway, there are tons of people that are in my network, that can do nifty things.  Not everyone would do it free, some would.  But a big network of loosely connected people is pretty valuable.  I have helped 5-6 people set up WP blogs, I’ve made introductions, and had a blast with this stuff.

And I’m taking it AS far as I possibly can.
