I've never been able to walk into a large group of people and feel like I can "work the room." Sure, I've read various articles on this stuff, but honestly, I still struggle with meeting interesting people. I seem to be very adept at meeting financial planners, attorneys, accountants, etc. -

Last Saturday, I was a panelist at the CalTech - Social Networks event. It was a really good event with lots of interesting folks in attendance. I would guess that there was about 100 people - on a Saturday in Pasadena. That shows some interest in the topic.

Exclusively for Mixergy.com, Christel Hyden shot video of Seth Godin’s live presentation of the ideas in his new book, Tribes.
You can watch the video on Mixergy , or download the audio of it (below) and listen on your iPod/iPhone/etc.
Since, Godin gives a top-level understanding of how to build your community, a good followup to this presentation is my inteview with Max Alexander about the tactics of creating groups .

A while ago I posted about Secret for Networking at Events - Prenetworking where I recommended that people should look at who's attending the event prior to going to the event in order to make their networking more effective. I've received a lot of positive feedback on the post. Since I posted on this and since I've been using this approach for quite a while, it has

I’m sick of the usual interviews with Tim Ferriss , which waste time arguing over whether it’s possible to work four hours a week. What I want to know is how Tim got so many people to talk about him and his book, The Four Hour Work Week , and how he made his book into a New York Times Best Seller.
So I called him up and did my own interview.

The total number of IPOs is six for 2008 per the article and no "tech ones" since Valentine's Day? Here in 2008 it is around $130. I was reading the daily Venture Wire blurb last Friday. Usually these are "quick reads" and sort of a mix between a story in the LA Times and Food and Wine, but the content in this one was particularly fascinating and alarming at the same time. The

In 2005 they plugged a couple of
