Sorry for another short post with little insight, but Fred Wilson keeps cranking out great posts–the latest is titled “Connectors.” FredĀ  mentions that connections are key to the VC industry (weird). However, the interesting part of the post is the effect blogging has had on his ability to network and connect people–he says blogging “has surpassed my expectations by an order of magnitude.” To me–it’s a no-brainer. E-mail & phone calls are used to communicate to one person. Blogging is something that can reach a massive audience while still enabling conversation.
It seems to me that connectors without blogs would likely see similar results (increase in beneficial connections) if they started blogging. Afterall, they already have a decent sized group of interested readers.
