Are you still using Follow Friday (#ff) to virtually slap your mates on the back? Shame on you.
David Cushman made an appeal on his blog today for us to venture outside our comfortable networks and make new connections. Only then will you make new discoveries he says.
With a little wisdom, we choose to add a sprinkling of folk [to our networks] with whom we may not agree, whose interests do not match our own. This is us acknowledging the value of serendipity.
Silos are no friend to serendipity […] Do your bit. Go discover something beyond. Add to the network.
Please use Follow Friday this Friday to introduce me to someone new.
