Less than 3 days ago I Checked out Open Networker to see how it helps grow networks. I quickly jumped my connections to 999 in less than 3 days and met quite a few great people. At first I was expecting to get a bunch of jumk and spam. But, I was surprised to find that I have had REAL conversations with dozens of people already. Many of these great networkers sent a great introduction email and engaged in conversation. for example, I found two people involved in virtual assistant companies. I really need to get one of those! I found a couple cycling fanatics. Many of the others were great business development gurus or HR experts. The conversation was interesting and I am involved more in the disucssion boards as a result.
Bottom line: If you want to grow your network, get to know some of the world’s greatest networkers and engage in real conversations…Check out Open Networker!
As far as adding twitter followers goes I added just under 200 new followers. That is not a bad number, but he jury is still out since I was able to do that same with SocialOomph. Yes, I’ve added a few, but it does not compare to the growth on LinkedIn.
