		<description>This is timely and pertinent reminder. I take a lot of pleasure in connecting people, online and off. I have to say though, that the trust and relationship element is very crucial for me. 

I tend to connect people where I either know them very well or have interacted with them for some time. So when I identify a need it&#039;s easier for me to match that need to someone who may be able to meet it. Which means I would be unlikely to connect people to someone I might have read about but haven&#039;t really experienced on a one to one basis, online or off. And when I do connect people I always email both, tell them why and ask them to let me know how it goes. Follow up is important. And if the &quot;connectee&quot; fails to connect with the other person after I&#039;ve made an intro and they said they would, I am unlikely ever to try and connect that person again.

I think that in the Web 2.0 dynamic there are people who like the idea of social networking for what it can give them, without really understanding the reciprocity aspect of networking or relationships. Or for that matter without fully understanding networking itself, which is more about how you can give and less about what you can take. 

That&#039;s why the points you make in this post are evergreen and always pertinent. Thanks for the tips... and the reminder.
