Are we a bunch of networkers lacking personality?
Mr. Angus: Hand Dyed Nutmeg

Are we a bunch of networkers lacking personality?

It's a daily occurance. I'm sure many of you reading this have had a random connection request from a random industry followed by a random copy and paste slug of salesy copy topped off by a random PDF of utter randomness....

It drives me crazy. There's nothing in my life I enjoy more than taking to people, getting to know a personality... I'll reply to anybody who makes an effort! I call it making friends! So, that's why I'm trying something different.

From now on, when I make a new friend, I don't send them some jargon injected sales pitch about handmade leather shoes, but a short, raw version of me, my scrappy beard and my humble workshop.

What do you think? Would you be more inclined to make friends with me?

Love it. People lose touch with just text. Video makes a huge difference. I use video text all the time and have had tremendous success with it.
