It was our great pleasure and honor to contribute to the academic paper Managing Networks through Social and Technological Connectivity of Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, which is one of the top MBA programs worldwide with major focus on Marketing.
Our special thanks to Brian Boroff, Juliana Abreu, Priscilla Krone, Scott Dilloff and Tim Walsh. They have interviewed 5 people with different networking styles and learnt from their philosophies and approaches and how they use technology in order to expand their networks.
Enjoy it !!!

More than Congratulating on the great post and
thanks Octavio for sharing your wonderful thoughts!
It makes me think carefully about the next big revolutionary step on internet development:
What would be your next strategy step to continue developing Internet in a new radical way?
The “Meta” Internet: As everyday real life contact becomes less necessary to conduct business, we will soon start seeing the genesis of ‘virtual’ Silicon Valleys leveraging the power of the Internet.
The main question: What would be your next strategy step to continue developing Internet in a new radical way? It is a way in the sense of “meta”, like Google is a “meta internet”.
Do we know how to do it?
An example of this, is the next question and its answers, published on LinkedIn: “What does it take to build the next Silicon Valley? If you had to build the next Silicon Valley, what would YOU do?” And one of the answers: “A silicon valley is essentially 90% about the people and 10% about the place. Places close to financial centres and developed cities are more likely to host the next Silicon Valley, but smart people can turn any place into a silicon valley if that’s what they want, even if it’s in the middle of nowhere. However, now with the Internet I believe less in silicon valleys. I mean, what’s the point of having silicon valleys when entrepreneurs and techies can network through the Net and telecommute? If I had to build the next Silicon Valley, I would start by recruiting smart people on the Internet and creating incentives for like-minded individuals and companies to participate in some sort of hub website virtual marketplace”.
It makes me think carefully about the next big revolutionary step on internet development. Eventually, I think that the issue that is being treated here is a key issue and it deserves a new blog to be opened for it: http://methainternet.wordpress.com

Generally speaking, this is the great step that could completely change our world as far as we know it now, like when computers were created and developed or just like Google, and it is all this tiny but huge things that have been changing our way of living and the way we understand life. This is an open question! You are all invited to build the Meta internet! Then you could start up!
Again Octavio … thanks for a great blog post!
