No more degrees of separation

If you really want to get in touch with someone today, you can. Have you tried?
With the network and the tools of the social web we have very little friction in connecting.

Degrees and levels have been removed. If you want to connect with an author you can email them or have a conversation on their Facebook Page. If you want to voice a complaint to the CEO of your favorite brand you most likely can. If you are in a job transition you can do your own headhunting with creative search and networking.

The network for the most part is open and level. Take Tim’s advice and be generous. You will have all the connections you need.



  • Couldn't agree more. Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk, Chris Brogan, Guy Kawasaki are all incredibly talented people who, despite their all star status, are usually very easy to get in contact with.
