Transcript: Networking Do's and Don'ts October 17, 2010


#scriptchat TOPIC: Networking – how to do it successfully October 17, 2010

Both EURO and USA chatted up about our varying networking techniques and tips.  Lots of do’s and don’ts were shared.  Let’s face it, no group networks with the generosity we do.  It’s the reason we started the chat to begin with.  Enjoy!  @jeannevb

8:14 pm             Dealfatigue:             #scriptchat networking to break in to the business largely misses the point. You can't succeed alone. It takes a village.

12:04 am             zacsanford2:             I agree with @kageyNYC... the auto-DM is a no-no. A speaker at #140conf was booed offstage when she recommended them. #scriptchat
12:04 am             tracinell:             Amen. RT @KageyNYC: I have to start with the biggest faux pas of our Twit world: The Auto-DM. #scriptchat

12:05 am             Jonathan_Peace:             @zacsanford2 Surely the auto-tweet totally negates the whole purpose of what Twitter is about? Like drinking alcohol free beer. #scriptchat
12:05 am             GinyMacGregor:             RT @Jonathan_Peace: but it was #scriptchat that opened my eyes to network properly. "Community not competition" #scriptchat
12:05 am             KageyNYC:             And auto-DM should include canned, knee-jerk DMs. Not just auto but any canned "thanks for following see my site/FB/youtube etc" #scriptchat
