live.pirillo.com - geeks.pirillo.com - I have a Facebook account, and I log in every other day or so. I pretty much only log in to add friends, and ignore all App invitations people send me. Some people add only a small group of people they know, and others feel the need to add every person they can find. Apparently, Facebook has undergone a radical transformation, and there are a lot of grumblings as to whether people love or hate it. Less

I just returned from the lovely city of Seattle where I attended Gnomedex 8.0, the incredible event put on by Chris and Ponzi Pirillo. Blue Sky Factory was a sponsor of the event and this time we set up a table, gave out our minty fresh email marketing gum and also sponsored the wifi. In short, we love Gnomedex, its a one of a kind event, and my favorite conference of the year. Throughout the event, I broke out the Sanyo Xacti and asked a random sampling of the attendees why they come to Gnomedex, below is the video we cut of the responses.

http://live.pirillo.com - Some of you have been aware of the YouTube feature called 'Streaming'. It's where you can create a room, a play list of videos, and gather your friends together for a live interactive experience. That's nice if all the videos you want to see are on YouTube. But what do you do when they aren't? Less

Last night we had a nice relaxing dinner with visiting friends. I’ve known Frédérique since my first week of graduate school at Emory; we suffered through orientation together and have been friends ever since. That’s well over a decade now (I’m not saying how much more). Way back when, she met and married Clark and they had Louis, who’s a couple of years older than Ben. Freddie and Clark at our Wedding They are fun to be with, fun to spend time with. I’ve missed them tremendously since they moved to New Jersey/New York last year. Freddie is the one who has turned me on to all this French music I’ve been obsessed with lately (especially Alain Bashung, “Madame Rêve“!). When they moved, she gave me a giant monster plant from Martinique, which I’ve managed to keep alive, as well as a dresser and a couple of lamps, and a chair, and end tables for Ben’s room and all sorts of other things. Clark Frederique She is amazingly talented. She translated some of Salvador Dali’s work for her dissertation, and she does all kinds of other writing - art criticism and history, even an opera. She’s always got a couple of projects going. One of my most memorable conversations with her had to do with art in which someone is sticking out their tongue. She’s so French, so fun, so creative. I always have a lot of fun talking with her. John had just returned from the Artificial Life XI conference in England (among other things, he got to go to Stonehenge!) and I was working, so the dinner was carryout - rolled sandwiches, potato salad, stuff like that. I brought cookies, John brought fruit tart, and they brought Boston Creme cake - so it was all about the desserts. Freddie and I also had a couple of hours together on Saturday for some girl talk. How I’ve missed that! This was a day last year where we trounced around wearing furs for the “Save the Poor Abandoned Furs” project, membership: 2. Actually, I have friends that would be mad at me for joking about it, for owning fur, and for wearing it (sorry, I love fur - not siberian tiger or anything, but…). I love uncomplicated time with real friends. It’s such a treat to relax and know that your friends just like you as you are. The night cooperated by not raining so that we could socialize out on the deck. As light faded, I tucked Ben into bed and brought out candles and we spent a couple of hours talking about politics and art and relationships and neural networks and I don’t remember what else. It was an easy, fun, relaxing, enjoyable evening. Loved it. P.S. I should have taken photographs Monday, but I didn’t think of it. These are all from previous times together.

We were recently invited by Jon Gatrell to be guest posters on his Spatially Relevant blog. We wrote about networking – both online and offline. What sparked our post is a friend of ours who says she thinks social media is a waste of time. We can see her point – she has a stable job in a city she’ll probably never leave. She’s active in her community so she does do plenty of networking. She also cares for a young family at home. . . She’s not alone in her opinion. There’s no doubt that online networking benefits some more than others. But we think everybody should at least dip their toes into the water. Online networking makes it easy to find people that you may not have talked with in some time. Like that colleague at your first job who’s now the President of a company. You can catch up, keep up, and meet up. We have another friend who said that if he hadn’t talked to someone in twenty years or so, he didn’t need to talk to them now!  . I disagree. A prime example – I’m catching up with some of my old high school classmates. It’s interesting to see what businesses they’re in now. Some of them are in similar businesses to what we’re doing here at Bigg Success. So we can talk and help each other with some of the ins and outs of the business. . . It’s easier for me to keep up with people using social media. I know me – I’m not going to write a letter. I’ve probably lost their phone number years ago. Their e-mail address may have changed and I forgot to note it. Social media is just a great way to stay in touch. . It’s also important to build relationships offline as well. We’ve learned this – Bigg Success is, of course, an online business – but we found that it’s vital to meet people offline as well. In fact, we met Jon, and his wife Emily, at a conference. We liked them instantly! Since we met them offline, we got to know their full personalities in a way that wouldn’t have been possible online. However, we’ve been able to keep in touch with them because of the online world. The power comes from merging the two When we hear about a merger in the corporate world, the word “synergy” usually comes up – the whole is greater than the parts. We think the same thing happens when you merge your networking worlds. To take this one step further, think about marketing principles. You don’t just use one form of marketing in a campaign; you use a combination to create better results. And networking is marketing – at least that’s part of the reason we all network. By putting the two together, the results will be better than if you just use one forum. You have two hands … why wouldn’t you use them both? The bottom line – online or off – it’s all about people and building relationships.  Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes.  Subscribe to the Bigg Success feed.    Related posts  Relationship Building Blocks 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success 3 Keys to Effective Networking (Image by bjearwicke) ShareThis Less
