I found this great article via the Guardian and wanted to share it with you.
As the worst global downturn since the second world war forces UK companies to cull staff at a record pace, more and more Britons are thinking about starting their own business.

People are always asking me how I can manage to be *everywhere* and how everyone appears to know me and recognize the name I use for social media, LindaOJ. My answer is easy, a lot of the time I create an illusion, via my articles, tips, blogs and online presence; because I am visible I am also memorable, people remember me versus forget about me.
We can't be everywhere, all of the time, so rather than disappear from sight my online presence keeps me current and people see me around so to speak.

Google unveils “Project Glass,” and no, it’s not another spin-off of Project Runway with Heidi Klum. It’s actually a really cool concept that takes the functionality of a smartphone into eyewear. These “reality glasses” provide users real-time information right in front of their eyes, like location, transit, and weather.

Networking can be deemed a dirty word to many people today, especially if you look at the gurus on Social Media, who are now famous enough to not need to *network*. Or so they think! In fact I have heard it said many times that networking is not a good word to use.
Let's look at the word N E T W O R K I N G and see what we can make of it.
