Be Friendly.... Have more Friends

I think social networking depends in the person. If he wants to improve his social network he should be smart and friendly and he must keep in touch with people who the person might need in the future or who really have great social network. Also he has to be helpful and has some knowledge so other people would come for his help. I know back home (Saudi Arabia) knowing people in organization could grantee a job for you. Theu would help you but they might need your help in the future. I remember once I tried to help one of my friends to get a job. The person that I contacted told me if my friend will be helpful for him in the future or this guy would get the job and forget about me. So I think he wants to add my fiends to his social network so he can obtain his help at sometime. The bottom line is that people always expect something in return for their favors even if they are close friends or relatives.

Please mention if you agree or not.

Majid-

Yes you are absolutely correct, it does depend on the person to form social networking, but as you might imagine or already know that in our daily lives we are all moving different directions and it is becoming very difficult to stay in touch with your co-workers and sometimes even friends. But we all form social networking as a way to benefit ourselves. But what we forget is that sometimes we tend not to even think about communicating with with our co-workers of friends up until when we really need something as a favor. And this is sometimes where it is becoming difficult for them to help us.

I agree with you."But what we forget is that sometimes we tend not to even think about communicating with with our co-workers of friends up until when we really need something as a favor." I also remmeber Dr. Nicole Melander said something like that in the first week. She said that she recieved calls and Emails from people that needed thier help at that time but she never recieved anything from them before or after.
