I had enough of business networking already....JUST FOR THIS POST!!!!

So this class I'm taking is really focusing on social networks and how they relate to business but while watching ESPN I saw an ad for a new show..The show is called The Missing Link so i went to the shows website to see what its really about.(http://sports.espn.go.com/espntv/espnShow?showID=CSML) This show is defined as how sport figures who could not be more different are actually very similar and linked through other places and people...This all connects to what I'm learning in class and the project we did(the small world project) were we are trying to link to some one we don't know through six degrees. This show starts on Wednesday at 10 on ESPN classic and will link Joe Pa the coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions and Anna Kournikova...Think you know how they connect go check it out then...

Its not what you know its who you know!!!!!

Many people in this world including me go with the saying its not what you know its who you know...Its the people that you know who help you get those business contacts and how through people making new contacts...Its keeping these contacts what makes it the difficult part of business....

When you say social networking sites people think of the two most famous mysapce and face book....But the truth is that new sites aimed at business employees are popping up every day...New website http://www.linkedin.com/ is one that is new to the social networking scenes...This site lets people search previous companies to find ex-coworkers and rekindle there friendship...It also allows people to search for jobs that companies have posted...But most important the ability to find ex-coworkers and see where they are no providing new insights and possible no possibilities....

Business networking sites are now being used to see how your contacts can be used to find others...When you want to do business with a new company you can now see which of your associates have contact or relationship with that company to give you a heads up...

Social networking sites have really helped business grow...Don't you think?
