Plaxo has proved itself

Sorry about this, all you Plaxo-haters in my network.
It’s now saved two valued relationships from dropping owing to their details changing, so it’s proved itself in my eyes. I’m now adding the details of all recent e-mail contacts I’d like to keep in contact with to my Plaxo account.
Please feel to opt out if [...]

Misunderstanding the gospel according to Thomas Power?

As regular readers will know, I’m a member of Ecademy and other online networks.
These are undoubtedly A Good Thing, but sometimes I pull my hair out at the strategies of some people. I just got a message from a fellow Ecademist (I shan’t identify him/her):

And don’t forget to go along to Joogleberry in Manchester Street, Brighton to see the [...]

Changing my mind about Plaxo

I’ve been a bit lukewarm about Plaxo in the past, but since setting up my online Plaxo account - I don’t use Outlook or Outlook Express - to catch all those annoying Plaxo reminders, I’ve been amazed how many times people have been changing their contact details.
The clincher, though, is that I caught up with [...]

Networking tips - halitosis is not a good thing

It comes to something when the only thing memorable you take away from a networking event is the the inevitable three days being talked at by Mr Halitosis.
I know who to avoid next time!
Seriously, though, why don’t people chomp on some extra-strong mints before they go interacting with other people?
You wouldn’t fall into that [...]

Watching the YASNs

Before I start lapsing into an Elvis Costello whine, I thought I’d better draw your attention to this strangely pre-bubble burst feeling page tracking the Internet presence of most of your favourite YASNs. (Nice to see Ecademy isn’t counted as one ).
