The size of the future you actually experience will largely be determined by one factor: the people you choose to connect with. When you invite people who are truly committed to growth into every aspect of your life, your own potential for growth becomes truly unlimited
-- Dan Sullivan

But I also think that too many people have forgotten what it means to "connect" - its not a matter of forwarding a LinkedIn request, but actually getting to know someone - their abilities, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and what makes them perspire during the day... most of which is missing from the sterile technology based social network.
