Networking
Networking: it’s a word that means
many things to people.
What actually is it? What’s it for? What
sort of people network?
Why do they bother? ‘People skills’: are
they something that can be acquired? Or
are you born with them?
What do skilled networkers have to offer
– other than an impressive ability for
self-publicity?

Virtual Communities
Internet - The internet is like alcohol in some sense. It
accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a
loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes
it easier to connect. - Esther Dyson

media will we use?)
Who will play what roles in the team's
communications?
