Hooking up

[Joseph A. Ferry]

I used to get a lot of "requests" from people I know to connect with them on this website.

I figured "Eh . . . I don't think so."

Last Thursday, pursuant to much cajoling, I went to this networking gathering and a lot of people that I have a lot of respect for were telling me what a great networking tool it is. There was even a short presentation on its many benefits.

Now the people at this networking function were movers and shakers, people you actually would want to know - and acknowledge knowing. So, I thought to myself: "Hmmm. Who knows more people than I?", a rhetorical question that answers itself.

And so I signed up. You should, too.

Now, if only Dale Duffy would hook up with me. Or Chris Duphily. Or Mark Timpani.

Looks similar to Plaxo.
