Somehow I had missed this post, and I love it. You do exemplify someone learning from his network. Sometimes I fear that my network is like a drug to this girl who has a sick, sick obsessive curiosity and would read every single link that comes along! The greatest thing I've learned from YOU in my network is that it is valuable to care, to take time to bring greetings and encouragement. Thank you. :) Whoa!

For a few months now I have been trying to build up my blog. It is now beginning to walk, with faltering steps, after a long period of crawling. My main problem was that I didn't talk to anyone. I made a few comments on blogs here and there, but mostly wrote articles in eZines etc, rather than communicated with people who may take an interest in me. I have now started reaching out on places like twitter, and have already arranged guest posts, learned a lot about my blog, and, oh...one other thing. I have realised that there is more to life than me and my thoughts. The world out there is incredible, and no one can make it on their own. So, to paraphrase someone...only connect. Cheers.

I agree with Rod and Paul, that this is a fabulous analogy! I like it because each book (i.e. person), has an author who wrote their story with a specific purpose and intention. It’s powerful to think that no matter what happens in our story, each chapter, each page was written strategically, with love and care. There was a point. I love this picture because each follower on Twitter is so different, with different messages, styles, lengths, book covers, etc. You get the picture. Thank you for encouraging that constant necessity for learning John. The minute we think we know it all we’re doomed. I don’t know about you, but investing time and love into my tribe has yielded a wealth of knowledge and relationships. The likes of which I could have never fathomed. It’s mind blowing. You rock.

I love the analogy of books relating to relationships; each person has so much to offer if we only engage them! I appreciate the kind words my friend; it is all about relationships!

Like you, I followed the crowd at first, but soon learned that the meaningful conversations and relationships were ones that were genuine and nurtured. We can all learn from others and we should!

It shows that you're not just doing it for the heck of it, but these relationships present a genuine value (buzz word) to you. When I first joined Twitter I'll admit that I followed the crowd (literally) but when I got into core conversations I started to see the value of relationships. Good job on this one man, keep up the good work. I love your passion for learning from your network John.
