Bad advice. Networking is a high cost low value activity. It’s a pre-internet strategy for building trust in the absence of information about competency. Today anyone can find anyone they’re looking for. Today on the internet there are many businesses and people who make money by amplifying others with new or novel things, or some value.
Just build things you care about and share your work online. Give it to the amplifiers and let them amplify. Good will come. In the internet age “networking” is for losers.

- ryanmarsh 8y agoEmail them. If it’s interesting they’ll amplify it. These people make their living be being “in the know” on all the great new stuff.
