Connecting with others

Thanks for coming back. =). Glad to see you. If there's anything I can do for you, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email, or leave a comment, introduce yourself. I'd love to connect with you. Or if you have your own blog, why not let me promote your work?

So Skype has added unlimited land-line calls to Europe and Asia.

From a selfish standpoint, being in Singapore, this is great news. And hopefully it’s going to make it easier for you to reach me (my number’s on my sidebar if you want to talk to me – I’m always glad to have a conversation with my readers).

But there is a bigger point to all of this. There’s great value in surrounding yourself with the right people – people who inspire you and make you better. And developments like this make it easier to meet these sort of people.

No matter what you’re interested in, there are bound to be like minded people. There are lots of interesting, intelligent, inspiring, creative people out there.

And it’s now so easy to meet them. The barriers are being removed. Distance is no longer a barrier. To an extent, expertise isn’t a barrier anymore (if a 17 year old kid like me can have conversations with an award winning marketer like Mitch Joel, how much of a barrier can expertise be?).

How are you making the most of today’s technology to interact with inspiring people?

    Oh cool, didn't know about the conference. What did they discuss there?

    I'm really glad to be a part of this world as well - with opportunities I would otherwise have never gotten.

  • This is a good point...Technology is breaking down boundaries every single day and I am glad to be apart of this ever changing world. This was actually a conference theme for a Technology Student Association Conference last year...
