Most of the other 7920 in the network would have an open mind for unlimited posibilities and usually respond positively because they believe in the necessity of paying forward and encouraging one another with positive sentiments and not with negative words. :) You will be surprised the speed and ease of getting things done with a network of 8000 with 80 quality individuals vs a network of only 80 quality individuals.

WRONG! With 8000 people in your network, the VAST MAJORITY likely do not know who you are nor would they do anything for you. SEE the data above. It is common sense that the strength of the relationship is directly proportional to the value of that person (again see above). So with 8000 people, if you spoke with them for 10 minutes this would take you approximately 1,333 hours or 55 days. This also translates into 33 40 hour 'work weeks' that you would dedicate to speaking 10 minutes.... So while it is nice in marketing because most believe that 'more is better', for real people, this advice WASTES TIME. It is not a numbers game, it is a game of quality.

It will be interesting to observe the trends of networking and if sites like LinkedIn and Facebook will pose a social divide such as computers and internet being a technology divide to those who do not use it. I have blogged about this here. http://daddyparentingtips.blogspot.com/2009/03/tip-116-understanding-networking-habit.html I am a personal believer in networking with 8000 contacts on LinkedIn.
