Thanks man. Just trying to share my experience :). It's funny how much different marketing is now from back when people had to work the phones. I don't think I've ever gotten any type of coverage or connection from a phone call. Now it's all emails and social media. Things have certainly changed - I imagine it's way easier now than it ever was before. Especially for someone like me who's still in college.

The principles are the same, though. You have the gist of it: contact everyone you know. You're working the emails and tweets. The downside is that without being careful you can come to be seen as a user. I see this mostly with people who get sucked into Amway or some other such can't-legally-refer-to-it-as-a-pyramid-scheme. I wonder if the startup economy has sprouted any fixers yet -- those infinitely connected people everyone goes through because everyone goes through them.

  Definitely true. I think they certainly exist in the startup economy just because that's the way things seem to work. It's the 80/20 rule. The vast majority of people are connected to a smaller subset that make it their business to know everyone.
