A conversation is better when I know whom is talking. I never post on blogs without using my name and link. It is my pet peeve that one can hide on line, but I digress. I do appreciate you adding to the conversation!<br /><br />But I can see "anonymous 2's" point. I have not tried the product, but I love the idea of a service that can tell the difference between relationships and contacts. I am not knocking any other service, just that people use them differently, so there is no way to judge the value of someone's network. I got two requests on another service this week from folks I do not know, have never heard of, and have no mutual contacts with. I declined them. But others accept such people, and that is why I like what Hoovers Connect is trying to do. Thus I blogged about it.thomsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230569732505245876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-47920493059393240982006-12-02T12:28:00.000-06:002006-12-02T12:28:00.000-06:00I'll chime in with John.

Reading this type of 'review' isn't why I've been reading your stuff.<br /><br />You didn't even try the product, but just talked to one of the guys selling it. It is really just a rehash of the press release.<br /><br />And doesn't mention that they launched this thing about 4 weeks ago and it didn't even work and they had to pull it. <br /><br />I would have held this "interview" (PR piece?) until I could have tried the product and then written my own thoughts instead of repeating what they told me.<br /><br />This all sounds more critical than I intend (sorry about that). Take it with a smile :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-85704875361965776152006-12-02T08:43:00.000-06:002006-12-02T08:43:00.000-06:00John-

I do believe that a mix of my perspective and links to other cool things, and maybe that has been out of balance at times. I do disagree with the "bad networker" comment, as I think it is the opposite. I think a "bad" blogger or networker tries to always make it all about themselves. I know that the world is not all about me, and that is why I try to point out the neat things I find. You wont like December, because most of my posts will be "The Praise Others Project" where I intend to spend the whole month drawing attention to authors and bloggers and the great works they do. I hope most will enjoy it, however.thomsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230569732505245876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-22950228008914551332006-12-01T09:22:00.000-06:002006-12-01T09:22:00.000-06:00Have you ever thought that you maybe you should co...Have you ever thought that you maybe you should concentrate your efforts on writing your own stuff rather than promoting and showing off all the neat stuff you find and people you meet? It just seems like your message has really gotten diluted and this is becoming more like show and tell rather than good substantive writing. Reminds me of what bad networkers do...be all things to everybody. It seems, at least from what I have read from your early work, that you have lost your focus (or maybe relevant things to share from Thom's perspective.). This is just my comment but I suspect others might feel the same way.<br /><br />Just a thought.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-56359618466040316652006-11-30T22:32:00.000-06:002006-11-30T22:32:00.000-06:00I enjoy the link to the Oracle of Bacon (click on ...I enjoy the link to the Oracle of Bacon (click on "six degrees of kevin bacon" in this post).
