- I’m going to share with you some pretty boring definitions that I found on Wikipedia. In fact some of the them Wikipedia is having trouble accepting! But, don’t worry … it all boils down to common sense and quite frankly while the tools we use to socially network have changed the fundamentals for developing lasting relationships have not.
- Social Networking is more than business networking…but I couldn’t find an exact definition that made any sense. So, I’m building off of this one. Social networking is the next stage of professional networking. It’s provides you with the opportunity to create and build business relationships of mutual interest and value. It’s where people gather, connect, both online and in person , and have conversations that can evolve in to relationships of varying types. What we are doing tonight is social networking. We’re gathering here tonight to learn a bit, have some suds, connect with people we’ve never met before and some that we have.

- So what is a social network? Well I’m not sure I consider myself a “node” but I do agree that a social network is made up of individuals that have common interests. There needs to be some level of interest for both parties to even consider introducing themselves let alone develop a relationship. Silicon Halton is a social network in that we have some powerful things in common. We live and/or work in Halton region and we’re involved in hitech. We’re committed to helping each other grow as individuals, as companies and over time as an industry. This spider web of connections consists of people that I’m directly connected to through Linkedin. I’m using Silicon Halton, which in itself is a social network, to establish high quality connections and relationships. A social network isan organized connected group where people feel compelled to stay together because they see mutual interest and value

- This has got to be the most confusing definition I’ve ever seen! In fact Wikipedia isn’t happy with it at all! Fortunately I’ve highlighted what I think it is. It’s media you use for social interaction. But, here in lies the problem!

- Individuals: People Hubs:Cores:Silos: Can be a person or group that has social culture or aspirations. Typically these people and organizations are command and control focused, keep information and contacts to themselves, are worried about “controlling the message”. They inadvertently or in some cases deliberately try to be unsocial and clique like.
