Agreed. I just have to insert another plug for TweetCrawl here, given the topic of discussion and the fact that TweetCrawl was last night. Connecting online with like-minded people has been great for me, but seeing them in person (especially in large groups like TweetCrawl or PodCamp) is inspiring. There’s something about being surrounded by the energy of entreprenerds that renews my energy.

Ed I agree, joining a good Chamber is a good idea, I met Diana through Middlesex, but you also need to find a group within the chamber. I think a lot of people think that it is all about the 1st level of connection, but it more about finding people that trust you and recommending you. That is what intrigues me about Tim’s site because that is exactly how it works, and you need those face to face meetings to take it to the next level.

Thanks, Tim, for being our first guest blogger at WFTB. Great article! I sometimes feel like people are talking about me, but then I decided it’s really just the voices inside my head – “The Committee,” as Jeffrey Cohen would say.

Tim, great post. The importance of section 2 can not be overstated. All of our social-media tools are really a launching pad for building higher level relationships, people need to get out and meet. And if they can’t find people with similar interests, they need to start that group. MeetUp.com is a good tool for this, MeetingWave.com is another interesting way to arrange those face-to-face meetings.
