What do you mean exactly by turning it inside out?
Here's my m.o.:
Step 1. Meet new people
Step 2. Keep in touch with people over time
(and repeat)
The first is accomplished by any method that will yield you new contacts (real-life or online) e.g. attending a startup / technical conferences, YC SUS, Twitter, HN, ..
The second is the "I wonder what's new with that guy", and it can be passive (looking at Facebook or LinkedIn activity streams then hitting them up), or active (actually asking the guy what's up via email, @mention, etc.)
- njl 17y agoStep one is hard. Some way of meeting people with whom I share peculiar mutual interests, but not peculiar mutual friends, is hard. Instead of a social networking app that tells me, "These are your friends, we'll help you keep in touch", I want an app that says, "These are people that might be your friends". The current social networking applications do a good job of telling me all about my current friends, and allowing me to keep in touch in a passive way. The issue is, most people have a hard time meeting new people after college.
