“Members of the creative class...work in a wide variety of industries - from technology to entertainment, journalism to finance, high-end manufacturing to the arts. They...share a common ethos that values creativity, individuality, difference, and merit.”
- Richard Florida, The Rise of the Creative Class, 2003

Effective networking is about literacies, not technologies.
Past networks were local
Now they are global
Greater amplification Greater reach
Greater unpredictability
But. Existing connections are your most
valuable asset.

Digital Identity allows you to participate in a participatory economy.
But networks & communities don't build themselves.
