Networking tips for techies

Thank you Mass High Tech ....

Contribute to my book!

It's amazing to think that when my first book was published in 2003, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter didn't exist!

Now I'm doing a revision and I'm inviting you to make a contribution.

• How have you used social networking sites to meet people face-to-face?
• What works for you?
• What doesn't work?

You are invited to share your stories, experiences, tips, etc. Here's what I'm looking for:

• Story of how you use both online and offline to network
• 300-700 words
• More focused on building community than personal reconnections.
• Please send a draft to me by Friday, September 25th
• Email to: Diane@EffectiveNetworking.com

Many thanks and happy writing! ~ Diane
