I have been trying to rally all of my smart friends to get involved in my network at LinkedIn. John is hypersmart but also one of those karate hipsters with the cool British wife kind of guy. You know the type. He runs Bonkworld with said wife.
From Mr. John Schoneboom of Bonkworld:
Chris,
Well, you know, I’m surprised I’m not already “Linked In” also, me being such a business social networky type of guy and all. It’s a real shocker, I’ll grant you that. You’ve got me pegged there.
I’ll get right on it, as soon as I’m done e-shmoozing at this i-cocktail party thing I have to virtually attend to zap out my b-cards to the electronic colleagues who comprise my current social network or “S-Net”. They’re industry folks. I love industry folks. There are nearly 500 of them in my S-Net, which puts me in the top 20 of my V-Group, but I’m hoping to use even larger numbers in the future.
cheers,
John
Here was my sweet and loving request to him:
John,
I have amazing luck on LinkedIn. Periodically, I go through my contacts to see if there’s anyone who might especially appreciate and value LinkedIn, which is a business social network, enough to consider joining.
I thought of you.
And, to tell you the truth, I am surprised you’re not already on. So, if you’re already on LinkedIn but not at this email, sorry about that; otherwise, I invite you to join my network of nearly 500 industry folks.
So, please be my guest.
Cheers,
Chris
Bastard!
