I have advocated the benefits and importance of networking a few times
in my blog in the past. In fact, business schools and professional
business seminars have been promoting the adage of "It’s not what you
do but who you know." But there is also an ugly side of networking,
specifically the superficiality and spuriousness of networking. Has
business cards and v-cards become trophies, and the mere possession of
them is simply to satisfy an ego and bestow some recognition of how big
one’s network has become? Anyway this article explores more on this issue in more detail. Thanks to Siobhan for the article.
