Networking tips

Although I criticised him a bit in my previous post, here's again Tyler Cowen on Marginal Revolution (MR), this time in his best shape :-).

First, some advice via MR on networking for introverts. To sum up, all you need is to understand/do the following:

• Networking is an investment, not a nuisance.
• At first, you have to kiss a lot of frogs.
• Don't spend too much time on it.
• Do cool things.
• Invite people to lunch.
• Go regularly to things you like.
• Analyze your results.
• Find the key nodes in the network.
• Don't network just for the sake of networking.

Of course you might choose to ignore all that and simply approach people that hate the same people : networking might be instantaneous :-) (also via MR).
