A mis-understanding of the world of Social Capital

What’s the Whuffie? “To succeed in this Web 2.0 world,

you have to turn conventional wisdom on its head and become a social capitalist.

A social capitalist is as ravenous as corporate titans like John D. Rockefeller and Bill Gates for success, but the coin of the realm is different. People are on social networks to connect and build relationships.

Relationships and connections over time lead to TRUST, which is the key to capital formation.”
