Keith Ferrazzi's "Never Eat Alone" compares networks to gardens that must be actively maintained along with attendant and relevant gardening analogies (care/attention, pruning, growing, etc).
I read Never Eat Alone about 10 years ago and, similar to yourself, didn't like the idea of maintaining a massive network. But many of these ideas can still be positively (not necessarily profitably) applied to your smaller social graph, resulting in stronger relationships amongst immediate or extended family, and friends you make a conscious effort to stay in touch with.

I wonder how introversion/extroversion fits into the world of "networking theories"? I can certainly see that some people might really enjoy tending that particular garden, and in fact "connecting with people" might be their main source of enjoyment. While to others that seems like endless drudgery.
